. A typical issue of the journal would carry a mix of research articles, book reviews, perspectives and interfaces. Research Articles would be analytical and/or empirical in nature and focus on the analysis and resolution of managerial issues in organizations. Book Reviews would present reviews of current books on various domains of management. Perspectives would aim to identify and highlight emerging issues and paradigms in management and Interfaces would present articles from professionals focusing on managerial applications of management practices, theories, and concepts. Case Studies would aim at an intensive analysis of a real life decision taken at the individual or the organizational level, which may be functional, operational or strategic in nature.

The Journal tries to maintain a balance between purely research-oriented articles and those based purely on the experiences of practitioners involved in different areas of management. The journal is an imperative addition to the libraries and it is also suitably priced.

Review and Acceptance

The review process followed by Globsyn Management Journal is systematic and thorough. Articles submitted to the journal are initially screened by the editor for relevance and quality including presentation of concepts, methodology and findings. Inappropriate or weak submissions are not forwarded for a formal review. Those considered appropriate are put through a double blind review process that may take between three to four months. Author/s may be asked to revise and resubmit a manuscript based on the referees’ comments.

Once an article is accepted, a camera-ready copy of it (the final version) must be sent in a CD to the editor. The CD should not contain any other files (i.e., not related to the article being submitted). In case of multiple authors, all correspondence would be done with the first author, unless otherwise stated. For this, the author must provide an easily contactable email address or phone number/fax so that the editorial office can get in touch with the author in case of queries during the copy-editing stage.
