CMR Insights is a new online platform for the latest in management thinking. It's free-to-access by everyone. Like our published articles, CMR Insights offer advice for better ways of doing business, examining topics with an eye for both theory and practical application. We created this platform to give authors, researchers, and practitioners a quick glimpse into new topics and emerging frontiers in the field of management.

The focus of the platform is on timeliness, breadth, and practitioner relevance, and it serves to complement the California Management Review, which publishes research that is peer-reviewed.
