IACMR Publications

Management and Organization Review (MOR) is the official journal of the IACMR, jointly sponsored by Fudan University and Peking University. Now MOR is published by Cambridge University Press five times a year, in February, May, July, October and December. First published in 2005, the journal is already ISI-listed with an international reach in 2008, and a readership that spans over 3,000 research institutions. It is dedicated to advancing global knowledge on management and organizations and aims to publish innovative research in three domains:

• Fundamental research in management;
• International, comparative and cross-cultural management research;
• Chinese management research, including research on the management and organization of Chinese companies both in and outside of China and multinational companies operating in China.

Based on the  2021 SSCI Impact Factor report, we are proud to announce:

MOR‘s Impact Factor

2-year Impact Factor= 3.776
5-year Impact Factor= 4.113

Due to the increase in the number of submissions, MOR increased from four to five issues per year from 2020 onwards, and MOR is currently a bimonthly publication with six issues per year.

Management Insights is co-published by IACMR and School of Management, Fudan University. Publishers are Xiongwen Lu, Dean of School of Management, Fudan University and Anne S. Tsui, Founding President, International Association for Chinese Management Research; Chief Editor is Xiaoping Chen, Professor of University of Washington. It is a Chinese-English bilingual publication that converts leading academic research on China-related topics into summaries that can be easily read and used by managers. These summaries exclude most of the academic theory, research methodology and literature references that are in the original full papers, and focus on what is directly useful to managers. Most of the papers come from Management and Organization Review (MOR), published by the International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR) with selected China-related articles from other leading journals. All the summaries have been approved by the authors of the original articles.

IACMR Bimonthly Briefing is a bilingual member briefing published by the IACMR. It contributes to communication between the association and its members and dialogue among Chinese management researchers.
