What is the Business Excellence Review?
The Business Excellence Review (BER) is a journal for managers and leaders. It seeks to publish manuscripts that explore new thinking, knowledge, and the application of approaches and we intend it to become the go–to source of leading thinking on Business Excellence in both the private and public sectors as well as in the non-profit sector.
Written for busy people who need to keep up to date in a demanding, dynamic world, it provides readers with concise articles based on practitioner insight as well as robust academic research.
As such, its writing style requirements focus on making actionable information and ideas available to the reader in as accessible a way as possible. Supporting information such as citations, reflexivity, and justification of approaches taken are confined to a Commentary section appended to the article.
Audience
BER is written for people with an interest in managerial, leadership and organizational topics in both private and public sector organizations. This includes senior leaders, middle managers, functional managers, consultants, improvement specialists, policy makers, educators working with practitioners and students, and applied researchers whose work is designed to influence management practice. BER will provide actionable insight and learning to these individuals – knowledge produced “by managers for managers” as well as knowledge produced by research with leaders and managers.
