Abstract: This paper discusses one of the channels of dissemination of administrative ideas: academic publications. After a thorough summary of the literature available, we focus on three issues. First, we elaborate on the impact of USA-based academic publications on European academia. We provide a large amount of data and discussion on the circulation of American academic publications throughout leading European business schools. Second, we examine the composition of the editorial boards of journals that have an impact in Europe and assess them from the viewpoint of the regional and institutional affiliation of the «gatekeepers». Also, we offer a closer look at the editorial policies of the outlets. Third, we try to position these journals among other channels of dissemination of ideas in Europe, such as the popular press, consulting firms, and managers.

Keywords: Channels of dissemination; academic management journals
