Call for Papers- Strategic Management Journal: History & Strategy Research: Opening Up the Black Box

Deadline: September 30, 2017

This Special Issue will push forward research at the intersection between history and strategy, to further integrate these two disciplines. We welcome empirical papers that apply established and innovative research methodologies to strategy questions by using historical data and records. In particular, we encourage research that uses novel datasets that support tracing over time how organizations, groups and individuals — by acting in a particular historically embedded context, and by mutually interacting — built, implemented and modified strategies. We also call for theoretical modeling that builds on history and provides new insights into the historical implications of strategy.
