MANAGEMENT<br />
CONCEPTS<br />
AND<br />
PHILOSOPHY
Scope of the Journal<br />
Many ideas <strong>and</strong> many innovative <strong>and</strong> creative approaches to <strong>management</strong> are<br />
lost because of the intrinsic tendency to reject the new, the novel, the ground<br />
challenging <strong>and</strong> the ground-breaking idea. IJMCP encourages novel yet<br />
rigorously thought-out <strong>and</strong> rigorously developed ground challenging <strong>and</strong><br />
groundbreaking ideas <strong>and</strong> perspectives. It encourages multi-disciplinary<br />
perspectives <strong>and</strong> diverse cross-pollination of thought <strong>and</strong> approaches to<br />
<strong>management</strong> practice.<br />
Subject coverage:<br />
In order to avoid narrow prescription, the<br />
guidelines to subject coverage are deliberately<br />
kept broad. The following list is merely<br />
indicative:<br />
• Definition of challenges <strong>and</strong> problems ahead<br />
• Development of new <strong>management</strong> <strong>concepts</strong><br />
• Development <strong>and</strong> refinement of <strong>management</strong><br />
tools <strong>and</strong> techniques<br />
• Critical evaluation of current <strong>management</strong><br />
practices<br />
• Development of new axiomatic principles <strong>and</strong><br />
philosophical perspectives for <strong>management</strong><br />
e.g. from competition to collaboration<br />
• Critical evaluation of assumptions, presuppositions<br />
<strong>and</strong> axioms of <strong>management</strong>. For<br />
example, theories of human nature, values,<br />
rationality, rights, power <strong>and</strong> legitimacy<br />
• Definition of new drivers of business<br />
organisation <strong>and</strong> business practice e.g., new<br />
technology: IT <strong>and</strong> internet, communities of<br />
practice etc.<br />
• Adoption of new methodological perspectives<br />
<strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>points for <strong>management</strong> research<br />
• Future visions of business<br />
• Lessons from the past<br />
• Description of evolutionary trajectories of<br />
<strong>management</strong> thought <strong>and</strong> practice<br />
• Examination of new corporate responsibilities<br />
• Assessment of past <strong>management</strong><br />
achievements<br />
• Clarification of new organisational structures<br />
<strong>and</strong> business forms<br />
• Shifts <strong>and</strong> developments in market <strong>and</strong><br />
consumer behaviour<br />
• Thoughts on new strategies <strong>and</strong> philosophies<br />
• Challenge of transition from old to new forms<br />
