Editorial objective
　　Journal of Modelling in Management (JM2) provides a forum for academics and researchers with a strong interest in business and management modelling. The journal analyses the conceptual antecedents and theoretical underpinnings leading to research modelling processes which derive useful consequences in terms of management science, business and management implementation and applications.

Editorial criteria
　　JM2 is focused on the utilization of management data, which is amenable to research modelling processes, and welcomes academic papers that not only encompass the whole research process (from conceptualization to managerial implications) but also make explicit the individual links between 'antecedents and modelling' (how to tackle certain problems) and 'modelling and consequences' (how to apply the models and draw appropriate conclusions). The journal is particularly interested in innovative methodological and statistical modelling processes and those models that result in clear and justified managerial decisions.

Coverage
　　JM2 specifically promotes and supports research writing, that engages in an academically rigorous manner, in areas related to research modelling such as:
•    A priori theorizing conceptual models
•    Uncertainty-based reasoning models
•    Multi-attribute decision-making models
•    Generalized linear models
•    Non-linear models
•    Statistical decision models
•    Computer-based models
•    Computable general equilibrium models
•    Econometric models
•    Simulation models

JM2's ethos is focused on the utilization of management data which is susceptible to research modelling processes. The main management disciplines from which submissions derive are:
•    Management Science
•    Strategy and marketing
•    International business management and small business management
•    Operations management
•    Organizational systems
•    Human resource management and organizational behavior
•    Innovation management and technology management
•    Information systems management
•    Risk management
•    Healthcare management
•    Financial engineering
•    Supply chain management
•    Performance management and productivity management
•    Energy management and climate economics
