Innovation: Organization & Management

Innovation: Organization & Management (IOM) publishes outstanding research on innovation within and across organizations. The Journal addresses scholars in management, strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, organizational theory and organizational behaviour, and welcomes manuscripts grounded in diverse disciplinary, theoretical and methodological traditions. The Journal publishes both empirical and theoretical contributions that are highly relevant and methodologically robust. The Editors-in-Chief Llewellyn D.W. Thomas (University of Sydney Business School) and Nelson Phillips (UCSB, USA) particularly encourage manuscripts that break new ground theoretically. The implied meaning of innovation is broad, ranging from technological innovation to organizational innovation to business and social innovation, both in the context of business organizations and not-for-profit organizations. IOM covers innovation processes, structures, outcomes, antecedents, discourses and behaviours in both large and small organizations, including entrepreneurial organization.
