Entrepreneurship Research in AMJ: What Has Been Published, and What Might the Future Hold?*

  • Chapter
  • 12k Accesses

Abstract

Ours is a multifaceted academic discipline. Indeed, scholars seeking to publish their management-related research in AMJ have interests in diverse areas of inquiry, such as management history, technology and innovation management, and management spirituality and religion, among a host of others. The Academy of Management’s 24 divisions and interest groups are perhaps a meaningful proxy for the sheer diversity of management scholarship. One might even argue that the eclectic nature of this scholarship contributes to researchers’ ability to consistently produce intriguing and stimulating findings.
