Academy of Management Discoveries

The mission of Academy of Management Discoveries (AMD) is to be the premier journal of empirical exploratory research in the areas of management and organizations. What distinguishes AMD is that we publish … … articles motivated by research questions that address compelling and underexplored phenomena, novel or unusual contexts, and that reveal empirical patterns that cannot be explained by existing theory; … articles written with a different, more inquisitive voice and that include an open discussion of the research journey; … articles that present clear and compelling discoveries: empirical findings that challenge existing assumptions while opening new theoretical paths or that otherwise promote future, “down-the-road,” theorizing; and we do not publish… … articles that test hypotheses or are deductively framed in their empiricism; … articles that are motivated solely by theoretical argument rather than by exploration of phenomenon or context. Articles at AMD employ rigorous state-of-the-art methods and display strong and persuasive evidence. We present these empirical discoveries in innovative and accessible ways.
