Business and Management
Research reviews in business and management cover a wide range of issues, reflecting the diversity of the field and the importance of the disciplines in everyday life. One focus is on how firms compete in markets to provide goods and services to specific customer segments, and another is how managers in companies create strategies, organize resources, and lead people. The emphasis of some research is on the internal operations of a company, including leadership, human resource management, organizational behavior, operations and information management, and accounting. Other streams of inquiry concentrate on firms’ interaction with the environment—whether defined as consisting of other firms, government, society generally, or natural—in areas such as international business, marketing, corporate strategy, and ethics. Oxford Handbooks Online integrates the prestigious print program and includes specially commissioned essays from leading figures that provide critical examinations of the progress and direction of research on important concepts and issues.
Business and management research is pluralistic and is both informed by and informs other social sciences, including economics, psychology, political science, sociology, and anthropology. From cognition to culture, from incentives to motivation, and from institutions to individuals, the fields encompass a variety of human behavior. Review essays reflect this diversity and have been selected to provide authoritative overviews of research on important topics and topical issues.

OUP: In the range of academic publications, where does Oxford Handbooks Online: Scholarly Research Reviews fit in?
Hitt: This is an exciting new development in the publishing world. As an author and editor, I have participated in the three primary avenues for disseminating new scholarly work: scholarly journals, authored books, and edited books. Each has many positive attributes, and each has some specific limitations. Oxford Handbooks Online overcomes many of these limitations.
OUP: How so?
Hitt: For the reader, Oxford Handbooks Online's scholarly essays provide reliable reviews of and reflections on important scholarly topics, both key concepts and issues and new and exciting developments. These works are longer and richer than most journal articles while being more concise and focused than books. For the author, such essays provide an excellent opportunity to contribute insight in a way that has proven to be widely recognized and cited.
OUP: What aspect of this project enticed you to become so involved?
Hitt: Oxford Handbooks Online will be focused on developing and publishing high quality and rigorous scholarly research which fits very well with my own values. I have a great deal of respect for Oxford University Press for publication of the highest quality scholarly work. Taking on a leadership role in the editorial team provides me the opportunity to contribute to my scholarly field.
