The Executive Journal

Editorial Statement:

Welcome to the Executive Journal (EJ)
IIM Executive Journal is a new open publishing project with a mission to encourage management best practices research and dissemination. We will pursue this mission by publishing research work in a format targeting executives and senior managers. EJ is intended to create an expert platform for new forms of management knowledge creation and dissemination. Worldwide access and subscription to EJ journal is provided free of charge. 

Bridging Research and Practice
Many of our clients find academic research to be fuzzy and mostly rooted in theory and old text books. Even some of the best research tends to be written in a language and format that are hardly useful for a practicing executive. The aim of EJ is to bridge such gaps by providing a new open media outlet that emphasizes application-based content, combined with a "simple to understand and use" format. The goal of EJ is to provide access to new case studies, insights and lessons learned to challenge assumptions rooted in tradition and outdated management thoughts and practices. EJ's main focus is on breakthroughs in management thoughts and best practices, hence the publication process is highly selective. The main difference with IIM publications is that all published authors are required to frame their findings in such a way as to highlight managerial applicability. All practice-based white papers, case studies, articles and research papers are welcome. Using easy to read illustration diagrams, checklists, bullet points and tables is highly encouraged

Authors and Editors
EJ is a peer reviewed quarterly journal with focus on management best practices research. Editor, reviewers and authors of EJ are industry experts who volunteer their time and talent to contribute to the global community of management professionals and reap the rewards of international visibility, credibility and professional networking.

Annual Management Best Practices Awards
At the end of each year, IIM will publish a compilation of the year's best research, white papers and articles in electronic and print format. The work will be available for purchase online and at major bookstores worldwide. For more information check the Annual Management Paper Awards
