The Journal of Management Studies (JMS) is the official journal of the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS), which founded the journal in 1963 to support and promote high-quality research in management and organisation studies.
Published by Wiley, JMS is a leading international journal that shares bold ideas, thoughtful research, and practical insights. It brings together diverse voices to shape leadership, management, and organisational practice. Through peer-reviewed contributions, JMS challenges assumptions, explores emerging issues, and sparks meaningful conversations across disciplines.
