About this journal

Aims:
Journal of Change Management: Reframing Leadership and Organizational Practice aims to make a difference at the very frontier of organizational theory and practice development with a particular focus on change management and leadership as processes rather than as roles alone. Its intention is to contribute to the development of new conventions in addressing contemporary organizational and societal transitions and challenges. As a case in point, we wish to facilitate the study of agency through collective leadership in practice rather than in the traits and skills of formal agents and leaders.

Furthermore, by management, we understand the phenomena and occurrence of managing for the accomplishment of a change, not the group of people who occupy particular positions. Nor does management for the accomplishment of change necessarily involve a set of prescribed activities such as planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. However, achieving change requires a reframing and rethinking of both leadership and management.

Actively supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – signed by all UN member states as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015 - we encourage work contributing to SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) with its emphasis on leadership and change facilitating and enabling the delivery of all SDGs.

Scope:
Journal of Change Management: Reframing Leadership and Organizational Practice is a multidisciplinary, international journal with a focus on reframing change management, leadership, and organizational practice towards new conventions fit for the Twenty-First Century - relying on a multitude of fields, and ranging from historical inquiry to futures literacy. JCM is a platform for open and challenging dialogue, critique, and provocations, all with the intention of developing new theory and practice conventions.

The Journal expects to provide all authors with a first decision within six weeks of submission.
