Aims and Scope

Aim

The Asian Journal of Managerial Science (AJMS) aims to advance scholarly knowledge, managerial theory, evidence-based practice, and organisational decision-making across the major disciplines of management and business studies. The journal provides an international platform for rigorous theoretical, empirical, analytical, methodological, and practice-oriented research. It publishes studies that contribute to the development, evaluation, and application of management theories, organisational practices, business strategies, managerial processes, and decision-making approaches. AJMS encourages research addressing contemporary challenges in organisational transformation, sustainability, innovation, entrepreneurship, digitalisation, workforce development, business resilience, and responsible management. The journal also welcomes data-driven methods, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies where they make a clear and substantive contribution to management or business research. AJMS seeks to disseminate methodologically sound, theoretically meaningful, and practically relevant research to an international academic and professional readership.

Scope of the Journal

  • Strategic management, business policy, competitive strategy, corporate strategy, and strategic decision-making

Interdisciplinary Research

AJMS welcomes interdisciplinary research where the managerial or business contribution is explicit, central, and analytically developed. Research integrating management with economics, psychology, sociology, information systems, engineering, healthcare, sustainability, data science, or other disciplines may be considered where it advances management theory, organisational practice, business decision-making, or managerial problem-solving. Studies primarily focused on another discipline without a substantive management or business contribution are outside the principal scope of the journal.

Readership

The journal serves an international readership of researchers, academics, management scholars, business professionals, managers, executives, entrepreneurs, consultants, policymakers, educators, research scholars, and organisational leaders working across private, public, entrepreneurial, and non-profit organisations.

Types of Articles

  • Original Research Articles
  • Review Articles
  • Case Studies

Originality and Relevance

Submitted manuscripts must present original scholarly work relevant to the stated aims and scope of AJMS and demonstrate theoretical, empirical, methodological, managerial, or practical significance. Manuscripts should make a clear contribution to management knowledge, organisational practice, business strategy, or decision-making. Purely descriptive studies, routine organisational reports, or interdisciplinary studies without a substantive managerial contribution may be considered outside the journal's editorial scope.
