年鑒的使命是出版最新的、深入的、綜合的管理研究進(jìn)展綜述。年報(bào)論文通常被稱(chēng)為“帶著態(tài)度的評(píng)論”，它總結(jié)和/或挑戰(zhàn)既定的假設(shè)和概念，指出問(wèn)題和事實(shí)錯(cuò)誤，激發(fā)討論，并闡明進(jìn)一步研究的可能途徑。年報(bào)上發(fā)表的評(píng)論超越了對(duì)該領(lǐng)域的描述——它們推動(dòng)了概念整合，并為未來(lái)的研究設(shè)定了議程。

The mission of Annals is to publish up-to-date, in-depth and integrative reviews of research advances in management. Often called “reviews with an attitude,” Annals papers summarize and/or challenge established assumptions and concepts, pinpoint problems and factual errors, inspire discussions, and illuminate possible avenues for further study. Reviews published in Annals move above and beyond descriptions of the field – they motivate conceptual integration and set agendas for future research.
