Aims & Scope

Research in business and management science, from strategy to operations and decision-making.

The Business and Management Sciences Journal publishes research that advances the theory and practice of managing organisations. Our scope covers management science and decision analysis, operations and supply-chain management, strategy, organisational studies, and the business analytics that increasingly inform managerial choice.

We welcome quantitative modelling, empirical investigation, and conceptual development addressing how firms plan, organise, and execute. Topics include operations and process improvement, project and quality management, strategic and organisational change, leadership, and the economics of the firm. Studies that combine analytical rigour with clear managerial implications are especially valued, in both established and emerging economies.

Manuscripts are assessed for methodological soundness, theoretical contribution, and practical relevance to managers and scholars. Through open access the journal seeks to bridge research and practice, offering a venue where evidence-based insights into decision-making, operations, and strategy can reach the academics, professionals, and students who shape how modern organisations perform.

Contributions may be analytical, empirical, or conceptual, spanning operations, strategy, organisational studies, and business analytics. We value methodological rigour paired with clear, actionable implications for managers. Made freely available on publication, the journal serves management scholars, professionals, and students, bridging research and practice so that evidence about decision-making, operations, and strategy can improve how organisations of every kind plan, adapt, and perform.
