AMP’s Domain and How It Complements Other AOM Journals

Markman and Wood explore where the Academy of Management Perspectives (AMP's) domain lies, its distinct features and strengths, and issues that authors should consider when preparing work for it. AMP is a distinct pillar in the Academy of Management's portfolio of journals for its role in encouraging management scholars to consolidate and extend theoretical and applied scholarly debates with policy significance. AMP defines policy as governance principles that guide the choices, behaviors, and courses of action of individuals, organizations, communities, and societies. Policy, therefore, intends to preempt or rectify problems, or even preserve a desired state or set of processes. AMP is about evidence and rigor, but applies this in terms of the reappraisal, augmentation, and broadening of scholarly debates in business and management studies, with a view to deepening theoretical understanding and applied work.
