ABOUT THE JOURNAL
Top of pageAims and scope of journal
Asia's place in the economic order has been driven by the dynamic interaction of global capital and regional and local forces. Rapid growth and swift financial downturn require rigorous scholarly attention. Asia's socio-economic conditions are patently different from those of the West: a re-examination of functional Anglo-American approaches and the 'Asian values model' are called for.
Asia offers good grounds for the study of business and management. Currently the leading journals in the field deal with Asia by looking in from the outside. In contrast, Asian Business & Management (ABM) will create a new forum for the scholarly community by focusing upon Asia and by encouraging the interaction of Asian academics and those from beyond the region.
Just as importantly, and unlike other journals, ABM seeks to encourage the awareness of social issues in the study of business and management in Asia. The journal welcomes papers exploring aspects of peace/democracy, political economy, culture/ethics, environment, laws/legislation, gender, labour movement and community in relation to business and management in Asia.
ABM focuses on East Asia but also covers South Asia. Major areas of interest include: marketing, corporate governance, strategy, organisation, technology (IT), production systems, employment (HRM) and industrial relations. The journal will cover aspects of Asian business management located beyond the region, as in Asian businesses in North America and Europe, and also aspects of foreign management practice within Asia.
ABM will explore Asian business and management via theoretical and empirical research. Both specific cases and broad trends are examined in the search for a new paradigm in the study of Asian business and management in the 21st century.
ABM seeks to raise awareness of the links and interactions between business/management and global issues such as peace/democracy, political economy, culture/ethics, the environment, legislation, gender, labour movements and community.
ABM welcomes studies of one country and broader comparative studies. Aspects of Asian business and management located beyond the region and of foreign management within Asia are also covered.
A rigorous peer review system, involving in-country and international refereeing, ensures that articles will meet the highest standards of quality.
