SMJ is the flagship journal of the Strategic Management Society (SMS) and the premier outlet for strategy research — how firms gain and sustain competitive advantage and why some firms outperform others. It draws on the resource-based view, dynamic capabilities, and transaction-cost and agency economics, as well as organizational sociology, but the question is always strategic: firm-level (or business/corporate-level) choices and their performance consequences. SMJ rewards a clear contribution to strategy theory backed by rigorous empirics. The audience is strategy scholars, so a paper must be strategy-central, not an OB or general-management study dressed up with a performance variable.
This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the SMS / SMJ / Wiley site and the submission system.
