There is a burgeoning development of theories but unfortunately very few make it into management practice. Explanations for this are many and varied but can be classified into two major reasons: theories that are too narrow and far removed from the realities and intricacies of the world of practice, and second sound theories which are unfortunately written and discussed in a manner that confines them to forever live in the confines of academic corridors. IJMP focuses on the pragmatics of informing management action and practice. This requires translating existing theories into forms that are relevant, digestible and amenable to practical action as well as developing new insights by developing and examining leading edge managerial practices to enhance organisational performance.
 Objectives
The aim of the IJMP is to help turn management theory into management practice. IJMP endeavours to illustrate pragmatic solutions to corporate problems and challenges. Readership
Professionals, academics, researchers, and managers.
Contents
IJMP publishes papers that are able to show how to turn theory into practice or describe leading managerial practices that enable business performance. It will adopt a pragmatic and easy to read jargon free style. IJMP will encourage papers that develop frameworks and define processes that help to translate specific concepts and philosophy into organisational actions. The journal will also publish rigorously compiled case studies of companies that illustrate ''best practice'' ways of doing things, and highlight key challenges and ways of transferring these practices into other organisations.
