Global Strategy Journal is the leading journal for global strategic management research and a top tier scholarly journal in management. The domain of the journal is the study of the interaction between the global context of organizations and their strategies and strategic management. Global strategy and GSJ are about strategy in context; about the boundary and moderating influences of place in the array of nations on strategy and strategic management. By strategy we mean the analysis of decisions and actions that enable an organization to achieve its objectives and improve its success. By organizations we mean not only for-profit multinational enterprises, but also small-and-medium-sized firms as well as non-governmental organizations and supra-national entities. By global context we mean not only activities that take place in multiple countries or cross national borders, but also activities in single countries that differentiate multinational and local organizations or that test or develop concepts in global strategy or management and comparisons of activities across countries and comparisons of organizations that originate in different countries.
We welcome theoretical pieces that aim to extend current thinking and introduce new ideas, concepts, frameworks, models or relationships explaining global strategic management. We are open to extending any theoretical base, and welcome studies that establish links between strategic management and other disciplines (e.g., economics, political economy, history, law, psychology, sociology, geography, international relations, etc.) as long as the focus of the study is on global strategy and impact the general discipline of strategic management. We expect that the effects of the international context will be explicitly included in any conceptual modeling or analytical outcomes.
We are open to any type of empirical studies (large-sample quantitative analyses, small number comparative studies, single case studies, simulations, etc.) that analyze any dimension of global strategy. We also seek studies that contribute to a better understanding of research methods in global strategy, as well as studies that clarify previous empirical findings and offer more solid understanding of empirical relationships of know theoretical mechanisms. Studies with data from one country are welcome as long as they analyze some global dimension of strategy, for example comparing the strategies of organizations from different nations operating in one country, analyzing the international activities of organizations from one country, or studying the influence of foreign activities on organizations in the country. Studies with data from multiple country studies need to explicitly analyze the influence of some country characteristics on the behavior of organizations.
