About the Journal

Academia Revista Latinoamericana de Administración (ARLA) is CLADEA’s (Latin American Council of Schools of Management) international journal. The journal disseminates theoretical and empirical research in the field of management and related disciplines, and serves as a means of integration among academics of the Latin American region.

Academia Revista Latinoamericana de Administración was launched in 1988 and was edited and published at Universidad de Chile until 1998, when Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia) took over. At the beginning of this second period up to 2004, the journal defined a focus on comparative studies among LatAm countries. The journal now also attracts many articles from Spain and Portugal – two countries we feel it is natural for it to cover.

Scope/Coverage

Academia Revista Latinoamericana de Administración is a multidisciplinary journal that welcomes papers from all the major disciplines in management, including, but not limited to:

• Management
• Strategic management
• Public management
• Organization theory
• Organizational behaviour
• Human resource management
• Entrepreneurship
• Corporate governance
• Culture and management
• International business
• Ethics and social responsibility
• Non-profit management
• Business economics
• Finance
• Accounting
• Marketing
• Operations management
• Information systems.

Although it supports a pluralist approach regarding perspectives and methods in management and related disciplines, the journal prefers empirical qualitative and quantitative research.

Academia Revista Latinoamericana de Administración has a preference for research articles which analyze the practice of management, and are also founded on solid theoretical and empirical bases. It also accepts literature reviews and teaching cases.

Statement about uniqueness of the journal

Academia Revista Latinoamericana de Administración is intended for a graduate academic audience. It actively encourages and welcomes authorship from all around the world and seeks articles and cases that are either about Ibero and Latin-American management and businesses, or, that coming from elsewhere, reflect the implications to the LatAM region either because of similarities in the social or cultural context, or because of the emergent economic context.

Academia Revista Latinoamericana de Administración publishes contributions in Spanish, Portuguese and English and was the first journal of the region to cover all the countries of LatAm in a comparative focus.
