Editorial: research methods and management

This article introduces a virtual special issue comprising a selection of innovative and highly-cited articles recently published on methodological questions in the British Journal of Management (BJM). In an initial context section, it is argued that while management research has drawn on methods from the core social sciences, it has cast its net wider to adopt methods from subjects and fields on the edge of the social sciences as they are normally conceived. These have also been important. It has in turn made significant methodological contributions both to those subjects and fields, and indeed more widely. The contributions of the articles selected for inclusion in the special issue are delineated within this broad context.
