Editorial philosophy is perhaps the most deliberated upon part of a new journal. Editorial philosophy provides vision, chalks out the path to be followed and sets an immediate agenda for implementation. It sets a journal apart from the rest and keeps the journal on the chosen track.

We, at Faculty of Management Studies, gave it a careful thought. There were a host of questions needing answers, and doubts requiring clarifications. As one of the best business schools of India, we felt it was our social obligation to promote management education and research.

It was agreed upon that we should cover all aspects of management. We wanted the journal to have a wide focus, to contain papers covering the entire management field — partly because we felt it was difficult to compartmentalize management and partly because we wanted the journal to cater to a wider spectrum of academicians, researchers and practitioners. By not having a sharp focus we stand the risk of being dubbed as lacking any focus at all. However, we hope that our sincere endeavour will meet the approval of our valued readers and pave the way for excellence in the future. We look forward to your suggestions and feedback.
