Business & Society aims to be the leading, peer-reviewed outlet for scholarly work dealing specifically with the intersection ... of business and society. We publish research that develops, tests, and refines theory, and which enhances our understanding of important societal issues and their relation to business. The journal is built on the following aspirations: Openness to diversity. We publish conceptual, empirical, and normative research, based on a variety of disciplinary lenses and methodological approaches. A review process that ensures scholarly excellence not simply conformity to the status quo. We aim to publish innovative work, which at times may deviate from the mainstream of management research by challenging assumptions and/or providing thought-provoking perspectives. However, it will always meet high standards of quality. Timely decision making on submissions. Authors will be provided with decisions on the publishability of their manuscripts at the earliest possible occasion. Our goal is for the majority of published papers to have received a decision on publishability after the first revision has been evaluated. Founded in 1960, Business & Society was the first journal exclusively dedicated to publishing research in the field of business and society. It is the official journal of the International Association of Business and Society. read more
