GUIDELINE FOR AUTHORS

MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL REVIEW welcomes articles on original theoretical contributions or original empirical research in the areas of International Business, Cross-cultural Management, and Comparative Management.

Manuscripts are reviewed with the understanding that they are substantially new, have not been previously published in whole (including book chapters) or in part (including exhibits), have not been previously accepted for publication, are not under consideration by any other publisher, and will not be submitted elsewhere until a decision is reached regarding their publication in MANEGEMENT INTERNATIONAL REVIEW. The only exception is papers in conference proceedings that we treat as work-in-progress.

Contributions should be submitted in English language in a Microsoft or compatible format by using the web-based editorial management system “Editorial Manager” which can be accessed at https://www.editorialmanager.com/mirv. The complete text including the references, tables and figures should as a rule not exceed 25 pages in a usual setting (approximately 7000 words). Reply papers should normally not exceed 1500 words. The title page should include the following elements: Author(s) name, Heading of the article, Abstract (four sections of about 50 words each), Keywords, Author's line (author's name, academic title, position and affiliation) and on the bottom a proposal for an abbreviated heading.

Submitted papers must be written according to MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL REVIEW 's formal guidelines. Only those manuscripts can enter the reviewing process that are in line with our guidelines.

In general, authors should avoid terms that may be interpreted denigrating to ethnic or other groups. Be especially careful in dealing with gender. Traditional customs such as "... the manager wishes that his interest ..." can favor the acceptance of inequality were none exist. The use of plural pronouns is preferred. If this is impossible, the term "he or she" or "he/she" can be used.

Furthermore, authors are requested to use endnotes for clarification sparingly. References to the literature are indicated in the text by author's name and year of publication in parentheses, e. g. (Rugman 1981, p. 113; Egelhoff 1991). The references should be listed in alphabetical order at the end of the text. They should include full bibliographical details and be cited in the following manner: e. g.
