CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission deadline August 1st, 2023.

We are pleased to announce a new Special Issue at the Academy of Management Perspectives (IF: 8.069, 5-Year IF: 10.161, ABDC: A, ABS/AJG: 4).

EXCEPTIONALISM AND OUTLIERS: ADVANCING MANAGEMENT THEORY AND PUBLIC POLICY FROM POWER LAW DISTRIBUTIONS IN GROWTH-DRIVEN PHENOMENA

In this SI we seek to explore the theory and policy implications of exceptional growth performance. Be it new ventures, internationalization, financial or organizational growth, productivity, etc.; our goal is to see what we can learn from those that outperform their peers at exceptional levels.

While the definition of outperformance will vary based on the distribution curve of the growth phenomena, these are the firms that represent a disproportionate amount of the net growth.

We welcome research at the country, ecosystem, firm or individual, but the focus should be on how those factors contribute to firm outperformance. Please see the attached CFP for more details.
