Editorial statement from Prof. Luna Leoni, Editor in Chief of the International Journal of Information and Operations Management Education: Time for a Renewed Vision

5 June, 2026

Organisations worldwide are redefining how managerial knowledge, operational capabilities, digital competencies and learning processes are developed and transferred. Accelerated technological change, AI-driven transformation, new workforce expectations and increasing organisational complexity are reshaping both management practice and management education at an unprecedented pace.

Within this evolving landscape, the International Journal of Information and Operations Management Education (IJIOME) is entering a renewed phase of development to strengthen its relevance, international visibility and interdisciplinary contributions.

Since its foundation, IJIOME has provided a valuable platform for research at the intersection of information systems, operations management and education. The journal has advanced our understanding of how organisations and individuals learn, adapt and manage information and operational processes in dynamic environments.

Today, these foundational themes are becoming even more strategically important. Organisations increasingly require future-ready managerial capabilities, digitally enabled learning systems and adaptive operational models that can respond to continuous transformation.

Rather than redefining the journal’s mission, this renewed direction strengthens and modernises IJIOME’s original interdisciplinary foundations. The journal will continue to serve as a rigorous international forum for research addressing the evolving relationships between information systems, operations management, organisational learning and management capability development. In particular, IJIOME will place growing emphasis on four interconnected domains that reflect both the journal’s historical strengths and the emerging priorities of contemporary management research:

Digital transformation and information-driven organisations, including AI-enabled management, digital capabilities, smart operations and data-driven organisational systems.
Future-oriented management education, including digital skills, workforce transformation, competency-based education and technology-enhanced learning environments.
Organisational learning and knowledge development, including learning organisations, knowledge transfer, intellectual capital and managerial capability building.
Sustainable and responsible organisational transformation, including ESG integration, responsible leadership, sustainable operations and human-centred organisational development.

By reinforcing these directions, IJIOME seeks to support a broader international research community while remaining fully consistent with its core identity and mission.

We warmly invite scholars, educators, practitioners and policymakers from around the world to contribute rigorous, relevant and forward-looking research addressing the future of organisations, management education, information systems and operational transformation.

We are particularly interested in contributions that bridge academic rigour and managerial relevance, as well as proposals for special issues devoted to emerging and high-impact themes.

We look forward to a renewed period of growth, visibility and international engagement for IJIOME, and we sincerely thank our authors, reviewers, editorial board members and readers for their continued support and trust.
