Abstract

Strategic management research has developed significantly in the last 30 years but especially so since the turn of the century. Some relatively new journals have expanded the outlets for strategic management research as the field continues to mature. First, we summarize the strategic management research in the past 2–3 years in management journals. These summaries identify the characteristics and development of strategic management research in each journal. Future research directions are provided in the conclusions.
