Shaping Management Scholarship in Ireland - Editorial Perspectives on the Irish Journal of Management
Abstract This paper reflects on the development of management research in Ireland through the lens of the Irish Journal of Management and its evolving editorial practices. Drawing on conversations with past editors, it explores how the role of the editor has changed since the journal’s inception, alongside broader shifts in the publishing landscape. The paper is informed by an online panel discussion held with previous editors and additional contributions from editors unable to attend the live session. Rather than providing a chronological account, the discussion is woven into a set of reflections on editorial leadership, the challenges and opportunities of academic publishing, and the journal’s contribution to the management research community in Ireland over time.
