About this journal

**Aims** The International Journal of Management Research and Practice (IJMRP) is a peer-reviewed, biannual publication dedicated to advancing theoretical and empirical knowledge in the field of management. The journal serves as a critical platform for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to disseminate innovative research that bridges the gap between academic inquiry and real-world management challenges. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, IJMRP aims to address contemporary issues in organizational behavior, strategic management, human resource development, and operational excellence. **Scope** IJMRP welcomes original contributions that explore management practices across diverse sectors, including corporate, public, and non-profit organizations. The journal emphasizes rigorous methodological approaches, from quantitative surveys and experimental designs to qualitative case studies and mixed-methods research. Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to: leadership dynamics, change management, corporate governance, sustainable business models, digital transformation, and cross-cultural management. The journal also encourages submissions that examine emerging trends such as artificial intelligence in decision-making, remote work ecosystems, and ethical implications of algorithmic management. **Article Types** The journal publishes a variety of formats to accommodate different research contributions: (1) Original Research Articles presenting novel findings from empirical studies; (2) Review Articles that synthesize existing literature to identify gaps and future directions; (3) Conceptual Papers offering theoretical frameworks or models; (4) Case Studies providing in-depth analysis of management practices in specific contexts; and (5) Short Communications or Research Notes for preliminary findings or replication studies. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process to ensure scholarly rigor and relevance. **Audience** IJMRP targets an international readership of academics, doctoral students, management consultants, and organizational leaders. The journal’s content is designed to inform teaching, inspire further research, and guide evidence-based decision-making in practice. By prioritizing clarity and applicability, IJMRP ensures that its articles are accessible to both seasoned researchers and practitioners seeking actionable insights.
