Introduction

Michigan Journal of Business is a bi-annually published academic journal run by undergraduate students at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, intended to provide undergraduate students with a platform to put out exceptional work in the field of business. MJB seeks to publish distinguished theses, empirical research, case studies, and theories in issues relating to areas of Economics, Finance, Marketing, Management, Operations Management, Information Systems, Business Law, Corporate Ethics, and Public Policy. Because the contemporary business environment is becoming exceedingly complex, analyzing real world phenomenon through traditional applications of basic theories often yield a suboptimal understanding of the world. The Journal, accordingly, encourages work that takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding a topic, and emphasizes the importance of incorporating the knowledge of liberal arts into an area of interest.

Mission

By rewarding students for pursuing their passion, Michigan Journal of Business gives incentives for students to write papers that further explore their area of interest, thereby rewarding them with the experience to share the power of knowledge with others. The Journal’s mission and philosophy parallels the mission of the nation’s premier research university. This project will involve not only students from the University of Michigan, but will also actively seek involvement from a worldwide audience.

Review Process

The organization is an entirely student-run organization, with an editorial staff of about 15 of the top students at the University of Michigan. Each semester, Michigan Journal of Business will call for papers from undergraduate students around the world. Throughout the semester, the editorial board will carefully review, edit, and select exceptional work for publication. Faculty willing to advise MJB will be formed from each department to give minor oversight for the project. Throughout the process, a blind review process will be implemented in order to ensure an impartial review of your submission. MJB may ask authors of papers to perform minor edits to meet publication requirements.
