Significant amounts of theory are not applied to management practice, being too far removed from the world of practice or being sound but handled in a manner that confines them to academia. IJMP focuses on the pragmatics of informing management action/practice, translating existing theories into forms relevant, digestible and amenable to practical action, besides developing new insights by developing and examining leading edge managerial practices to enhance organisational performance. The challenges are dynamic, so the subject coverage is merely indicative.

Topics covered include

  • Small/family business management, intra/entrepreneurship
  • Government policy on entrepreneurship
  • Creating marketing orientation
  • Managing business relationships
  • Financing business, accounting
  • Managing work place motivation/pressure/stress
  • De-layering, restructuring
  • Managing learning and improvement
  • Instilling creativity
  • Managing globalisation and international business
  • Managing supply chains
  • Developing/leveraging core competencies
  • Business processes improvement/management
  • Quality management, continuous improvement
  • E-management practices

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.
