We welcome submissions that explore multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary studies across a broad range of topics in business and management disciplines, including but not limited to: strategy, operations, marketing, finance, human resources, entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership, and organizational behavior. 

Submissions are open to researchers, faculty members, doctoral candidates, early-career scholars, and experienced professionals.

Sections

The journal organizes its content into two interrelated sections:

  • Research Articles Section: 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.
  • Managerial Perspectives Section: Offers general insights that provides 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, professionals, partners, and members of the ABMR scientific committee.

Objectives

The Applied Business & Management Review aims to:

  • Contribute to closing research gaps by publishing original work that connects theory with practice across diverse business contexts.
  • Promote applied research that delivers practical insights and can inform decision-making in real-world business contexts.
  • Offer a platform for faculty, doctoral candidates, and early-career researchers to share their work and connect with the broader research community.
