About JMS
The Journal of Management Studies (JMS) is dedicated to advancing the field of management and organisation studies. We publish bold, original research that shapes how we understand organisations and the people within them. Our commitment to academic excellence and real-world relevance connects research with practice, helping leaders, educators, and policymakers to make informed decisions.
Mission Statement
The Journal of Management Studies provides a platform for research that advances new ideas and rethinks understandings of how we lead, organise, and manage in an ever-changing world.
Our goal is to connect rigorous scholarship with real-world application, driving meaningful dialogue, shaping theoretical development, and informing practice across business, education, policy, and society. While upholding the highest standards of academic rigour, the Journal encourages authors to share their unique scholarly voices, encouraging originality and diverse perspectives.

We aim to connect diverse voices, ideas, and methods to build a global, inclusive, and vibrant community; leading the conversations that matter, and creating space for learning, collaboration, ethical practice, and lasting impact.
