International Journal of Management Development  (IJMD)
ISSN (Online): 1752-850X  -  ISSN (Print): 1752-8240

Published in 4 issues per year  (View Subscription Price)

IJMD is dedicated to publishing papers based on scholarly empirical and theoretical research on various dimensions of management. In pursuit of its goal to promote and foster a better understanding management development, IJMD encourages prospective contributors to bring their skills in theoretical and applied research to bear on current and emerging management issues and challenges that contemporary organisations have to contend with.

The journal attaches particular value to papers that incorporate fresh perspectives on these issues and challenges and contribute to greater efficiency and social and environmental responsibility at different levels of management across various forms of organisations. One major premise of IJMD is that effective management practice requires a more effective synthesis of practical management techniques and theoretical research in management. Consistent with this premise, it aims to provide a forum for analysis of sound management research, for sharing of innovative management ideas and insights and for dissemination of practical case study experiences.

 Go Top  Objectives

The objectives of IJMD are to establish an effective channel of communication between management, policy makers, government agencies and academics with the complex task of management development in societal and organisational context. It takes a multifunctional, multi-disciplinary, international approach to the issues facing those for whom management development is an important concern. It presents the research, experiences, and insights of academics, consultants, practicing managers, economists, scientists, sociologists, and thoughtful contributors from other professions and disciplines.

Since approaches to management development often differ in different economies and cultures, IJMD draws on the work of authors from all over the world. Articles are based on empirical research, well-considered observations of management experience, and state-of-the-art reviews of important issues as well as conceptual and theoretical developments. The scope is broad, taking account of those issues that are crucial to successful management in the organisation's external as well as internal environment. The intent is to be informative, thought-provoking, and intellectually challenging and thereby to contribute to the development of better managers. IJMD considers issues related to corporate responsibility and CEO effectiveness through practical, real-world discussions and analysis of past, present and future concern.
