Contributions to this section should be no longer than about 7,000 words. Essays can be submitted on the author's initiative, suggested by the editors or recommended by professors. All papers will be peer-reviewed before a decision on publication is made. The abstract should be written in both German and English.
Usually, there are the following categories:
Qualitative or quantitative research papers that empirically explore and investigate a phenomenon, problems, or data, using different theoretical and methodological approaches. Research findings should be understandable to non-specialist readers.
Case studies: description, analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of a single case or group of cases. They should be rich in descriptive detail, but also interesting to a broader audience, pointing out what implications the case has for practice and scholarship (What can we learn from the case?).
Management Concepts: Description of an applied concept for a management function or a specific task or project. Ideally, the concept is novel and innovative, and it is useful for broad application. Basic literature on terms and concepts should be included.
