•Management and Organization Review (MOR) Updates

1. MOR is Included in FMS High- Quality Journals List
Management and Organization Review (MOR), the flagship journal of IACMR, is recently included in the FMS Management Science High- Quality Journals List, ranking of “B”. FMS (Federation of Management Societies of China) list was jointly issued by Chinese Society of Optimization, Overall Planning and Economic Mathematics, Society of Management Science and Engineering, Systems Engineering Society of China. FMS journal ranking list is based on reliable big data, scientific measurement methods and extensive academic research, which largely reflects the consensus of the academic community. 

Since it has been founded, MOR appealed to management scholars to abandon “bean-counting” research aimed only at generating a high number of top-journal ‘hits’, focusing instead on socially responsible research and indigenous Chinese management research (Tsui, 2013). During the fifteen years since its founding, MOR has published many studies that recognize the cultural roots and institutional context of contemporary management in China, enabling them to introduce important Chinese cultural constructs (Tsui, 2018).

We invite management scholars in China to see MOR as an appropriate outlet for their best China-focused research, and hope that together we can realize the mission of MOR in this new research era.  

2. MOR CFP| “3D” Forum on DE-GLOBALIZATION and GLOBAL DECOUPLING: Ramifications for MNE’s Strategies and Management
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has dramatically escalated de-globalization undercurrents and global decoupling (e.g., O’Neil, 2020; Schell, 2020). The pandemic has vividly revealed the vulnerability of optimized global supply chains and single offshoring manufacturing hubs and has forced MNEs to consider and adopt new configurations of loosely-coupled ecosystems. The MOR forum on DE-GLOBALIZATION and GLOBAL DECOUPLING is inviting commentaries that address two broad questions: (1What are the most salient contextual forces driving the trend toward de-globalization and global decoupling? (2) How can MNEs headquartered in liberal democracies or state capitalistic systems best adapt and respond to these emerging dynamics? Please click here for more information.

3. MOR Special Issue| Organization Design of Resilience in the Face of Unanticipated Global Crises
How to design for resilience, and how do organizations manifest resilience in organizational designs during global crises? A new special issue invites exploration of resilience from a multitude of theoretical perspectives, with empirical studies under extraordinary circumstances such as the current global pandemic.
