Editorial : Special issues in Industrial Marketing Management : past, present, and future

Abstract

Special issues in Industrial Marketing Management (IMM) have a long tradition. The first special issue was published in 1996, and since then, IMM has published an average of four special issues per year. Recently, there has been an increased interest in proposing a special issue in IMM. However, the acceptance rate of special-issue proposals in 2022 is still relatively low, about 15%. Industrial Marketing Management has two associate editors (who report to the journal's co-editors-in-chief) who are responsible for managing all aspects of the process related to special issues.
