《管理世界》 submission (management-world)

Journal positioning

China's flagship journal for management and applied economics, with full lifecycle support already implemented in Journal-of-Management-World-Skills . Here we provide quick triggers within the target pack and transfer-decision judgments.

This skill is apositioning / journal selection / rewriting frameworktool; it does not replace the journal's latest official submission guidelines. Before formal submission, you must re-check the latest templates published on the official website, editorial system, or by the editorial office.

When to trigger

• The user explicitly states the target journal is 《管理世界》 or Management World
• The manuscript topic is close to this journal, but it is unclear whether the problem awareness, methodological strength, and readership match
• A general Chinese economics/management manuscript needs to be rewritten into a narrative more acceptable to 《管理世界》
• Before submission, high-frequency rejection risks for this journal and alternative submission directions need to be listed

Topic preferences

• Chinese management practice and institutional context
• Firm, industry, public policy, and macro-management issues
• Rigorous empirical or case studies that can produce actionable policy recommendations

Methods and evidence

• Preferentially invoke the complete mw-* lifecycle skill; this skill only handles journal selection and quick positioning
• Empirical articles emphasize China's institutional context, management practice, and policy actionability
• Case or mixed-methods manuscripts must explain case selection, data triangulation, and theoretical abstraction

Structure and writing

• The introduction should first clearly explain the management problem in Chinese practice, then move to methods and findings
• Policy recommendations should be specific to actors, stages, and executable actions
• Theoretical contributions must not be detached from the Chinese institutional context

Routing to prevent mis-submission

• This journal's quick positioning belongs to the "open economy and international issues" channel; only when the manuscript's core contribution satisfies "open economy, international trade, GVC, exchange rate, FDI, or cross-country comparison must be the main contribution" should 《管理世界》 be treated as the first choice.
• For similar profiles, first compare:management-review(《管理评论》) / management-science-cn(《管理科学》) / modern-economic-research(《现代经济探讨》) / modern-economic-science(《当代经济科学》). If these journals' readerships are closer, do not force submission to this journal merely because of similar names, regions, or variables.
• Common mis-submission: if it is only a domestic policy evaluation, prioritize returning to a general economics or industrial economics journal. Before formal recommendations, you still need to go through the official verification checklist.

Official verification checklist

• Before formally giving submission format/process recommendations, first read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md, start verification from the official source anchors therein or from the same host/publisher system entry, and state the verification date in the answer.
• Confirm whether it should be transferred to Journal-of-Management-World-Skills/skills/mw-workflow
• Check the latest submission guidelines, anonymity requirements, abstract keywords, figures/tables, and references
• Search for "《管理世界》 submission guidelines / call for papers / author guidelines" and rely on the latest page; do not follow second-hand submission-agency website formats
• Check whether an anonymized main text, author information page, separate funding information, data/programs/supplementary materials, copyright agreement, or no-fee statement is required
• If this skill conflicts with the latest official requirements, the official requirements shall prevail.

Self-check before submission

• Explain in one sentence why this manuscript falls within the core readership scope of Management World
• The problem level, theory/mechanism, and main evidence of concern to this journal already appear in the first 3 paragraphs of the introduction
• The literature review engages in dialogue with at least 2-3 articles on the same topic published in this journal or same-tier Chinese journals in recent years
• Methods, data, figures/tables, and reference formatting have been rechecked against the latest official manuscript guidelines
• Policy/management implications are derived from the evidence in this paper, rather than being general slogans

High-frequency rejection minefields

• Treating Management World as a pure econometrics journal, lacking institutional background and practical significance
• Policy recommendations remain at the level of strengthen, improve, and advance
• Case materials are substantial but lack theoretical abstraction

Submission transfer judgment

Use mw-workflow when full-process handling is needed; for work leaning toward mathematical models, transfer to journal-of-management-sciences-china.
