International Journal of Management Reviews is a dedicated review journal. Other generalist journals, such as Journal of Management and Journal of Management Studies, also tend to have good review articles. Special issue introductions of top journals also contain systematic review of the field. Good practitioner journals such as HBR, AMP, SMR, CMR and LRP tend to publish case studies.
