Bibliometric Reviews of Research on Sustainability in Management

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Sustainability will include a set of 'bibliometric reviews of research' on how sustainability has been, and is being, studied in different sub-disciplines comprising the field of organizational management and leadership. While global interest in how management processes impact sustainability in organizations has grown over the past two decades, there have been relatively few efforts to systematically examine the topical and methodological trends that create the emerging intellectual structure of this field. This Special Issue is devoted to a set of comparably structured 'bibliometric reviews of research, focusing on 10 management domains: Leadership, strategic management, innovation management, entrepreneurship, marketing management, financial management, human resource management, supply chain management, tourism and hospitality management, wellness and health care management. The reviews will employ bibliometric and scientometric methods that will highlight 1) the scope of research, 2) topical trends, and 3) how sustainability is being studied, and how these features form into the intellectual structure of each domain.

Note that this is not being proposed as a Special Issue open to outside submissions. Instead, the authors and papers have already been designated. The submission date for the Special Issue for reviews is March, 2019. Development of papers is being organized under a grant from the Thailand Sustainable Development Foundation through the Center for Research on Sustainable Leadership at the College of Management, Mahidol University.
