Many ideas and many innovative and creative approaches to management are lost because of the intrinsic tendency to reject the new, the novel, the ground challenging and the ground-breaking idea. IJMCP encourages novel yet rigorously thought-out and rigorously developed ground-challenging and ground-breaking ideas and perspectives. It encourages multi-disciplinary perspectives and diverse cross-pollination of thought and approaches to management practice.
 Objectives
The objectives of the IJMCP are to encourage and support development of new management thinking, concepts and paradigms for business management practice and philosophy. The journal will particularly encourage fresh solutions to critical management problems. As we move into the new millennium, the landscape of management challenges has changed, yet management thought is deeply embedded with concepts and philosophies from the era of the industrial revolution, steeped within one sided rational assumptions and philosophies that are universally applied. What is important at this juncture is to inject fresh and novel ways of looking at current problems, defining the challenges ahead, and searching for solutions to the problems that are likely to lie ahead. IJMCP aims to raise fundamental questions about current practice, ask questions that have yet to be asked and propose solutions. Readership
Professionals, academics, researchers, and managers. Contents
IJMCP will publish a range of conceptual and theory papers as well as empirical pieces that develop new or revise existing thought and practice. It will encourage pluralism and multidisciplinary thought by promoting a diversity of view by publications that challenge and develop current thinking and practice. IJMCP aims to do this through numerous routes; for example, by rigorous literature reviews, thought pieces, reflective commentary, or empirical evidence. The role of the journal is to be a platform for rigorous development of management thought, theory, concept and practice. IJMCP is:
- Multi-disciplinary: addressing all aspects of management forms and function, encouraging cross-functional dialogue and encouraging a range of different approaches
- Creative: publishing high quality work derived from innovative, rigorous critical enquiry that builds new ideas and developments
- Integrative: linking, theory, concepts and practice
