"We are delighted to work in partnership with the EAM to publish such an
innovative title as Organization Management Journal. We believe that the
quality of the journal and its editorial processes, allied to our global
journals publishing infrastructure and outreach, will enable this young
journal to grow exponentially."
The first volume to be published by Palgrave Macmillan will be Volume 5,

carefully to ensure a smooth transition. The editorial operation of OMJ
will continue unchanged.

easy one. Palgrave Macmillan's exceptional publishing service, global
