Management Communication Quarterly

Management Communication Quarterly presents conceptually rigorous, empirically-grounded, and practice-relevant research from across the organizational and management communication fields and has strong appeal across all disciplines concerned with organizational studies and the management sciences. Authors are encouraged to submit original theoretical and empirical manuscripts from a wide variety of methodological perspectives covering such areas as management, communication, organizational studies, organizational behavior and HRM, organizational theory and strategy, critical management studies, leadership, information systems, knowledge and innovation, globalization and international management, corporate communication, and cultural and intercultural studies. Criteria for publication include originality, provocative character, conceptual significance, methodological rigor, and relevance to scholars of communication in management and organizational contexts. MCQ also occasionally publishes manuscripts that introduce innovative research methods to the organizational and management communication fields. Such manuscripts must articulate details of the method and provide empirical evidence of the method’s efficacy for organizational and management communication research. Research method articles are shorter than regular articles, running approximately 4,000-5,000 words total. In addition, MCQ features a regular Forum section that includes themed essays, commentaries, debates, conference discussions, and book reviews.
