Aims and scope

Journal of Management Control (JoMaC) is an in­ternational journal concerned with the formal, in­formation-based routines and procedures managers use to maintain or alter patterns in organizational activities. Particular emphasis is placed on opera­tional and strategic planning and control systems and their (management) accounting processes and techniques.

JoMaC has a strong reputation as a dedicated academic journal for high quality research on all aspects of management accounting and management control.

Journal of Management Control covers such top­ics as: the role of management control systems for the management of companies and non-profit organiza­tions; the design and use of financial planning systems for production, marketing, logistics and other fields of use; the in­teraction between strategic and opera­tional as­pects of management control; the role of management accountants and their interactions with other departments as well as internal and external service providers, such as marketing, operational managers, financial account­ants and auditors; change and sustaina­bility of management control systems.

Journal of Management Control especially wel­comes empirical and analytical papers reflecting both methodological rigor and practical rele­vance that make a significant contribution to litera­ture. The journal is interested in literature reviews and meta-analyses showcasing and promoting current academic research. We are highly interested in empirical qualitative and quantitative papers and in new methods and topics not so much covered by mainstream journals.

Journal of Management Control publishes special issues covering specific research topics such as “Management Control in Family Firms”, “Top Management Impact on Management Control” or “Impact of Corporate Governance Reforms on Management Control”.

Papers are published in English. Submissions must follow the journal’s Style Guide, including format­ting, length, and references. Papers are subject to a two-level (editor and reviewers) double-blind review process which can be tracked by au­thors on our Editorial Manager® system. JoMaC has a traditionally short turn­around time for a first decision on submitted papers. Accepted papers are published “Online First” 20 to 25 days after ac­ceptance.

The JoMaC Best Reviewer Award is granted each year in recognition of the outstanding efforts and contri­butions of the journal’s reviewers.
JoMaC is available in more than 8,000 libraries and institutions around the world. The journal is pub­lished four times a year in print, online or open access here.
