"An important function of this journal is to help authors improve their papers. Each paper is reviewed by two or three peers, who provide extensive feedback This is especially important for authors from countries where English is not the main language. The journal also does a superb job in exploring new methodologies and in providing critical perspectives on current theories" Harry C. Triandis, University of Illinois, USA.

Areas of Submission
1. Cross-cultural Articles which help to define the area, critically evaluate previous theory, and advocate new developments in theory and methods. Empirical work which does not just provide simple comparison across cultures is encouraged. These are welcome from any academic or management discipline and from a broad spectrum of theoretical paradigms and methodologies. We certainly do not want to restrict this to the accepted 'western' or 'universal' paradigms, and culturally diverse approaches are encouraged, as are contributions from international and multicultural teams which draw on diverse and pluricultural approaches. However, ultimately articles in this section should address the questions 'How does this work (a) contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge on the role of culture in management theory and practice, and ultimately (b) help managers better manage people, organizations and change across cultures?'
2. Cultural Perspectives. Contributions, particularly from non-westernsocieties, which represent indigenous management research are actively sought. We are particularly concerned that contributions which do not take a 'western' or 'westernized' approach may be overlooked in international journals. We encourage these contributions as long as their internal logic and external validity is sufficiently established. Single culture work is acceptable provided it informs and advances knowledge in cross-cultural management and this contribution is clearly stated. The ultimate utility to cross-cultural management practice should also be transparent.
3. Commentaries and Critical Reviews. We would like to encourage substantial comments on previously published work, perspectives and comments on key issues in the subject area. We would also like to receive substantial reviews of conferences and other activities of academic and professional associations around the world devoted to cross-cultural work as well as more traditional book review articles which evaluate a number of publications. These also must make a contribution to the study and understanding of cross-cultural management, and will be subject to a review process.
