MIT Sloan Management Review

Confidence 0.88 · 7 sources · last confirmed 2026-06-19

The research-and-management magazine of MIT Sloan School of Management — distinct from MIT Technology Review and from MIT Technology Review Insights (the custom-publishing arm that produced the Cisco sponsored research). MIT SMR runs ongoing research initiatives under its Big Ideas program, including the Artificial Intelligence and Business Strategy track that has produced an 8-year panel of comparable global surveys on AI in business.

Editorial / research structure

  • Magazine + digital: peer-reviewed-style management writing for senior executives. Recurring contributors include MIT Sloan faculty and guest authors.
  • Big Ideas Initiatives: original research on issues transforming the business environment, conducted via global surveys + structured executive interviews. The AI track has been running annually since 2017.
  • Editorial leadership: David Kiron is editorial director, research, and program lead for Big Ideas.
  • Guest editors: senior academic researchers anchor specific tracks; Sam Ransbotham (Boston College) is guest editor of the AI and Business Strategy initiative.

Distinguishing from sibling MIT publications

The wiki references three distinct MIT-affiliated publications:

The distinction matters for source-quality assessment: MIT SMR’s Big Ideas research is editorially independent (BCG is a research collaborator, not a sponsor of the publication itself), while MIT Tech Review Insights is explicitly sponsored research.

Recurring research partners

  • Boston Consulting Group — research collaborator on the 8-year AI-in-business panel; co-publishes the annual Big Ideas Research Reports.
  • BCG Henderson Institute — BCG’s think tank; supporting sponsor of the annual reports.
  • BCG X — BCG’s tech build / design unit (~3,000 technologists across 80+ cities); supporting sponsor.
