- Addressing the interface between theoretical insight and practical application, connecting the corporate world;
- Enhancing the teaching and learning levels of management, especially through the use of experiential pedagogies and empirical research and case studies;

Manuscript Submission: Manuscripts and all editorial correspondence should be addressed to: Dr Moon Moon Haque, The Editor, Asia-Pacific Journal of Management Research and Innovation (APJMRI), Asia-Pacific Institute of Management, 3&4 Institutional Area, Jasola (Opp. Sarita Vihar), New Delhi 110025 (e-mails: abr.sage@asiapacific.edu). All submissions should be made electronically, as e-mail attachment, using Microsoft Word or other standard word processing software.
Format of Manuscripts: All articles should be prepared using double-spacing throughout (not only the text but also displayed quotations, tables, notes, references and any other matter). The text of manuscripts should not ordinarily exceed 5,000 words. All articles must be accompanied by an abstract of 150–200 words and up to six keywords. Book reviews must contain the name of the author/editor and the book reviewed place of publication and publisher, date of publication, number of pages and price.
The Guidelines:
• Contributors must provide their affiliation, complete postal and e-mail addresses, and fax and telephone numbers with their articles.
• It is the author’s responsibility to disclose any potential conflict of interest regarding the manuscript.
• All figures, i.e., diagrams, images and photographs, and tables should be provided separate from the text at the end and numbered in the order that they appear in text. Locations of tables and figures should be indicated in the text using callouts (e.g., ‘[insert Table 1 here]’) inserted after the respective paragraphs. Each figure and table should have a heading, an explanatory caption if necessary, and a source or reference in a separate file.
• Black and white illustrations can also be supplied electronically at a resolution of at least 300 dpi, as .eps, .tif or .jpg files. They should be saved separately from the article file. All figures should have short descriptive captions typed on a separate sheet.
• Endnotes should be numbered serially, the numbers embedded in the manuscript. The notes should be presented at the end of the article. Notes must contain more than a mere reference.
• Use British rather than American spellings (‘programme’ not ‘program’; ‘labour’ not ‘labor’). Where alternate forms exist, choose ‘ise’ spellings instead of ‘ize’.
• It is the responsibility of authors to ensure that their articles are written in an acceptable international standard of English.
• Articles should use non-sexist and non-racist language.
• When referring to social actors ‘woman’ should be used, not ‘female’, and ‘women’ not ‘females’, unless the context requires otherwise. Similarly, ‘man’ and ‘men’ should be used, not ‘male’ and ‘males’. ‘Female’ and ‘male’ should be used when referring to the construction of a social identity.
• Use single quotes throughout. Double quotes should only be used within single quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from the text and indented with a line space above and below.
• Use ‘nineteenth century’, ‘1980s’. Spell out numbers from one to nine, 10 and above to remain in figures. However, for exact measurements use only figures (3 km, 9 per cent not %). Use thousands and millions (e.g., not lakhs and crores).
• Use of italics and diacriticals should be minimised, but used consistently. Avoid excessive use of italics for emphasis, but use italics for book titles, journal names and foreign words.
