IMIO acts to coordinate ICC operations and to implement editors' directives and policies with Oxford University Press. IMIO, with Josef Chytry as Managing Editor, provides staff and editorial support for the solicitation, processing and organization of papers. Since 1999 ICC has published four issues per year with options to publish special issues on telecommunications policy.
Plans are presently in place to expand publication to five or possibly six issues per year.
ICC aims to stimulate research and discussion on global business enterprise as it relates to change. Created to provide a forum where industrial historians explicitly relate their analyses to the state of the art in the relevant social sciences, ICC also encourages social scientists to apply their models to historical evidence. ICC draws on an interdisciplinary set of approaches and theories, including business history, industrial organization, strategic management, innovation studies, organizational behavior, economics, political science, organizational psychology, and sociology. Among the journal's wide interests are the internal structure of firms, the history of technologies, the evolution of industries, the nature of competititon, the sociology of management and of the workforce, the performance of industries over time, the labor process and the organization of production, the boundaries of organizations and markets, and the nature of the learning process underlying technological and organizational change. Starting in 1999 ICC expanded to four regular issues per year.
