Meet the Editors
The Journal of Management Studies (JMS) is led by a dedicated team of three General Editors who oversee the Journal’s strategic direction and editorial operations. There are 17 Associate Editors, each responsible for guiding submissions through the full editorial process: from initial review to final acceptance.
Beyond their editorial duties, our editors actively represent JMS at events and activities around the world throughout the year. Members also take on additional leadership roles, providing oversight on special issues and JMS Says, and in key areas such as media and outreach.
