Abstract
The Asia Pacific Journal of Management (APJM) has been instrumental in advancing management research specific to the Asia-Pacific region for four decades. This article underscores the importance of leveraging the unique contextual features of the Asia-Pacific region to enrich and refine management theories. Traditional management theories, often rooted in Western contexts, may not fully capture the complexities of the Asia-Pacific region’s diverse and dynamic environment. The article highlights the need for context-specific research that considers the region’s economic, institutional, and cultural diversity. It calls for a deeper exploration of under-researched areas of management. By contextualizing existing theories and developing new ones grounded in the Asia-Pacific context, the Asia Pacific Journal of Management aims to provide valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners. The editorial also outlines the journal’s vision to promote diverse perspectives, encourage submissions from underrepresented contexts, and celebrate contributions that significantly advance the understanding of management in the Asia-Pacific region.
期刊介绍:
The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include:
Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries.
Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region.
Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
