The Michigan Journal of Business

The "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. Founded in 2007, the "Journal" is the first undergraduate business journal in the United States with a worldwide audience, being distributed to over 200 University libraries in five continents. The "Journal" publishes distinguished theses, empirical research, case studies, and theories in issues relating to areas of Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Management, Operations Management, Information Systems, Business Law, Corporate Ethics, and Public Policy. The Journal was accepted into the Directories of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), a scholarly journal database that enlists more than 3000 of the world’s leading publications.

Mission

Because the contemporary business environment is 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. By providing a venue to recognize high quality work, the "Journal" gives an incentive for students to write papers and to 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 University of Michigan, a top-ranked public university in the United States.

Review Process

The organization is entirely student-run, with an editorial staff of fifteen of the top students in the Department of Economics and the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Each semester, the "Journal" calls for papers from undergraduate students at elite institutions. Throughout the semester, the editorial board reviews, edit, and select exceptional work for publication. Selection rate for article usually hovers around 10%-20%.
