Aims and Scope
Now entering its 24th year of publication (2008), the Journal of Marketing Management is the official journal of the Academy of Marketing and is a double-blind peer-reviewed periodical with an international reputation for publishing influential and original contributions. It is concerned with all aspects of the management of marketing and is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of the latest research ideas and best practice in the field of marketing as a whole. JMM seeks to meet the needs of a wide but sophisticated audience comprising senior marketing executives and their advisors, senior line managers, teachers and researchers in marketing and undergraduate and postgraduate students of the subject. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), in which British academics were required to nominate their four best publications, JMM was the most frequently submitted academic journal in the Business and Management Unit of Assessment.
In addition to its pre-eminent position in the UK, JMM enjoys a strong reputation in many other countries, especially in Europe, South East Asia and Australasia. Contributions to JMM also reflect its international importance with 792 articles by 927 different authors from 37 countries published to the end of 2006.
The Journal of Marketing Management is published in five double issues a year in weeks 8, 18, 28, 38 and 48, and contains approximately 50 articles. 3 of these issues are Special Issues, dedicated to a key topic in the industry. Other issues, containing contributions from theoreticians and practitioners, cover a wide area including:
State of the art papers on particular topics e.g. portfolio planning, sales management, pricing
Management of the marketing mix the practical issues of managing product, price, place and promotion efficiently and effectively
Customer behaviour how and why both corporate and ultimate customers behave in the way they do
Marketing intelligence the establishment and maintenance of marketing information systems and everything associated with them
Case studies how an organisation has tackled an important marketing problem
Meta marketing how marketing ideas and techniques are applied to the less- or non-traditional areas of services, public and non-profit organisations
The composition of the Editorial Board, led by Professor Susan Hart of the University of Strathclyde, reflects the international reach and reputation of the Journal of Marketing Management. As well as including the leading UK marketing scholars more than one third of the Editorial Board are drawn from countries other than the UK, including such distinguished researchers as: Stephen Greyser, Abbie Griffin, Christian Grönroos, Evert Gummesson, Shelby Hunt, Kristian Möller, Hans Mühlbacher and Rajan Varadarajan.
