Sections

The journal organizes its content into three interrelated sections:

1. Research Articles
Features applied or theoretical research that uses established methods to address real-world business and management challenges. Contributions provide evidence-based insights with practical relevance. The section is primarily research-oriented, and all articles published in it undergo a peer-review process. Contributions to this section are typically submitted by researchers, faculty members, doctoral students, and early-career scholars, as well as other qualified academics and professionals conducting research in business and management.
2. Managerial Perspectives
Offers general insights that provide practical knowledge and value for managers, professionals and decision-makers through critical assessments, reflective essays, and commentary on emerging issues, practices, and trends. Contributions in this section are often submitted by practicing managers, partners, and other qualified professionals with relevant knowledge of the subject area. They may also be commissioned by the editorial team or invited from members of the scientific committee and other subject-matter experts.
3. Book Reviews
Features critical reviews of published books that are relevant to business, management, and related fields. Book reviews are intended to inform readers about significant publications and to assess their content, originality, relevance, and contribution to management thought and practice. The section may include reviews of academic books, professional and practitioner books, edited volumes, and other publications of relevance. Contributions to this section are typically submitted by researchers, faculty members, doctoral students, early-career scholars, and other qualified professionals with relevant knowledge of the subject area. They may also be commissioned by the editorial team or invited from members of the scientific committee and other subject-matter experts.
