The journal published twice a year, invites articles with a focus on management issues pertinent to the Indian and international corporate sector. Articles dealing with management education issues are also welcomSSDMIMD attaches a lot of importance to issues like ethics, values and governance. Consequently we will encourage papers in these areas, with a concurrent focus on managerial issues. The journal will be targeted at academicians, industry managers and practitioners as prime audience. The articles and papers published would thus aim to meet the needs of this primary segment.

We would seek to avoid articles with an excessively quantitative focus, although papers embellished with mathematical modeling, or backed up with econometrics based research are welcome. In the event of a paper being found otherwise suitable in terms of its focus area, it will be up to the editor to decide whether to accept an article with substantial mathematical content.

Subject to availability, each issue will consist of an interview with a prominent personality and a paper based on the perspectives of a leading intellectual. Management oriented cases, and minutes of round-table discussions will also be included. The Journal will aim to publish one or more book reviews every issue. The book reviews will normally be commissioned by the editors. Unsolicited reviews are however welcome.

The articles in a given issue would be a combination of both solicited and unsolicited works. Solicited articles and unsolicited works of general interest would be examined by the editors for expositional clarity. The research based articles would be subject to a blind review process as determined by the editorial team. Articles submitted for publication, which are deemed to be unfit in the opinion of the editors, will not be returned. Authors are required to ensure that articles submitted to the journal are not in the process of review elsewhere.

The journal invites reputed academics, industry leaders and practitioners to be on the Editorial Board and Panel of Reviewers of the publication.
