Point-Counterpoints
The ‘Point-Counterpoint’ section captures a current debate about management or organizations. Articles in this section debate theoretically and empirically challenging issues or topics, synthesizing recent advances and ideas into fresh theory and/or new methodological approaches. The initiative for the development of a ‘Point-Counterpoint’ may come from the editors, the journal’s editorial board, or through an informal proposal from authors to the editors. On receiving such a proposal, the editors will evaluate the proposal and, if it is approved, will ask for a more formal proposal which describes the relevance, scope and contribution of the debate, including the different positions of the respective authors on the issue or topic and the proposed outcome of the debate.
Proposals for ‘Point-Counterpoint’ debates are received on a rolling basis, and can be submitted to the Editorial Office. When preparing a proposal for a ‘Point-Counterpoint’, we advise authors to read previous examples featured in the journal to get an understanding of what is required.
