It has turned all electronic and now has a very competent new managing editor (L. Gast). Although I've seen a five year cycle (three rounds), that is increasingly an exception than the norm. My most recent experience has been similar to Professor Foss (about 2 months for the most recent cycle). Coming from an ancillary, non-strategy field in the business school, I will bet my money that SMJ has one of the most delightful and theoretically constructive review processes. It truly feels like peer reviews should: Like having a good conversation with your reviewers. In terms of theoretically interesting stuff, SMJ is hard to beat (case in point: the real development of KBV, the capabilities perspective, modular systems theory, and some of RBV are all happening in SMJ). The impact is far broader than strategy--almost all other disciplines in the business school draw on SMJ papers (a trend strongly supported in a casual meandering through the SSCI citations database). IMHO, ASQ is the only journal that beats it in terms of impact across all disciplines.

When I review for SMJ, I get a reminder from the managing editor after the ms has been with me for a month. I am pretty certain you will get a response before Jan if you submit now.

I'm very hopeful that I can send out a couple manuscripts in the next couple days and get a first-round decision back by the January AOM deadline... (???)
