The Journal of Management Studies is a peer-reviewed academic journal that was established in 1963 and is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies.

Jonathan Schad is associate professor at the department of Management and Organisation of the VU Amsterdam. Before joining the VU he was affilated with the King's College in London and he was a visiting scholar at Cass Business School (City, University of London). He holds a PhD in management studies from the University of Geneva (November 2017).
Jonathan's research is at the intersection of strategy and organization theory. He seeks to understand how organisations can manage fundamental competing demands, such as stability and change, short-term and long-term, and profit and purpose. Jonathan thereby draws on and contributes to paradox theory.
