The stated mission of the journal is to publish "empirical, conceptual and methodological articles across the full range of business and management disciplines", and to disseminate research that has the potential to make a "marked and positive impact on our social and work lives".[3] The journal does not accept review papers and papers based on surveys of students. Review papers are directed to its sister journal, the International Journal of Management Reviews, also published by the British Academy of Management.

The early history of the journal has been outlined by its second former editor-in-chief Gerard P. Hodgkinson.[4]

Special issues

Throughout its history the British Journal of Management has published "special issues", which focus on particular interdisciplinary themes. For example, it published a special issue titled 'Facing the Future: The Nature and Purpose of Management Research Re-assessed', in which a range of established researchers (including Neil Anderson, Christopher Grey, Peter Herriot, Anne Huff, Andrew Pettigrew, Karl Weick) responded to a focal paper by Ken Starkey and Paula Madan, which examined "the relevance gap in management research."[6][7] Recent special issues have included Impact of COVID‐19 (July 2020 issue), which explored new directions in management research and communications, and The Grand Challenge of Energy Transitions (July 2021 issue), a joint initiative with the Journal of International Business Studies, which investigated the long-term energy transition from high carbon-emitting energy supply to lower emission and emission-free energy sources.[8][9]
