Australian Journal of Management

The Australian Journal of Management (AJM) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes research in accounting, auditing and assurance, finance, human resource management, marketing, international business, organisational behaviour and strategy, provided the application is to management. 

The journal was founded by The Australian Graduate School of Management in 1976. Its foundation editor was Ray Ball, followed by Chris Adam, John Conybeare, the late Vic Taylor, Phillip Yetton, John Roberts, and Robert Marks, Baljit Sidhu and Jane Baxter. 

The AJM is currently ranked 132 of 155 for Business and 192 of 226 for Management. Its Impact Factor is 1.065 and 5-Year Impact factor is 1.421. In the Australian Research Council's Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) AJM is ranked as a tier A journal. 

The Editor-in-Chief of the Australian Journal of Management is Andrew Jackson. The journal is published four times a year by SAGE Journals. 

Scope of Submissions 

The Australian Journal of Management is interested in original, innovative and highly rigorous research. The domain of study (be it defined by country, management problem, or methodological approach) is much less important than quality and interest to both an academic readership and, preferably, a sophisticated practitioner one.

To be of interest to this journal, a submission would need a compelling motivation that would generalise to a wide audience, with strong theoretical basis with good empirical design, or offer a strong advance in theory.

Prizes 

The Australian Journal of Management awards a prize for the most outstanding paper published during the previous year. Starting this year, the award has been renamed in honour of Ray Ball, who was the founding editor of the journal in 1976. The journal has named the award in recognition of both his contribution to the broad management academic community, but also his involvement in the setting up of the journal. This was previously known as the E. Yetton Prize.
