Editorial Reflections on Academy of Management Perspectives’ Revised Editorial Mission
反思了《管理学院视角》期刊修订后的编辑使命，强调其聚焦于基于管理研究的政策影响，鼓励作者探讨管理理论对公共利益的启示，并区分政策与战略的规范性差异。
About two years ago, the Academy of Management began a multi-stakeholder consultation process to align the mission statements of AMJ, AMR, AMP, AMD, Annals, and AMLE and at the same time ensure their distinctiveness. The exercise recognized the recent growth of the Academy's journal portfolio, which has come in response to the expanding scope of management research. The process identified a number of white spaces in the journal portfolio and across the constellation of management journals. The revised editorial mission statement reads as follows:\nAMP's mission is to publish papers with policy implications based on management research. AMP articles leverage management theory to understand contemporary behavioral, socioeconomic, and technological trends, highlighting their implications for the public interest or relying on a strong evidence base of empirical findings to inform public policy. Authors develop connections between management evidence and public policy concerns by (i) critically assessing the impact of management theory and research on public policy, (ii) summarizing empirical evidence to emphasize their policy implications, (iii) identifying policy concerns that should motivate the development of new management theory and research, and/or (iv) establishing a research agenda that informs public policy.\nElements of this statement have appeared in prior ones. It is not new. It does emphasize the importance of the policy dimension and privileges contributions that engage in that conversation. The statement implies two opportunities for AMP contributors.\nFirst, management authors can explore the implications of their research for the public interest. Perspectives has a high impact factor because it is relevant: Perspectives articles distill, refine, and extend debates to challenge how we think about the role of the organization in the political economy. Authors should seek to make sense of complex debates and promote an understanding of management that accounts for contemporary events in the real world.\nSecond, authors have a place to discuss normative theory. Policy is not strategy. Policy refers to the sets of principles that give rise to an objective and the rules designed to sustain it. Strategy is the operationalizing mechanisms and techniques used to achieve said objective. This is not to say that strategy is unimportant at AMP. However, policy is normative whereas strategy is descriptive.
