Focus and Scope

Management scholarship with clear theoretical, empirical, organizational, or practical contribution

Aim

Jurnal Pakar Manajemen (JPM) provides a scholarly forum for research that develops, tests, synthesizes, or applies management knowledge. A submission must present a clear managerial problem or research gap, use an appropriate and transparent scholarly approach, and explain its theoretical, managerial, policy, organizational, or societal contribution.

Core Subject Areas

• Strategic Management and Corporate Governance: competitive strategy, strategic decision-making, business models, corporate governance, organizational resilience, and strategic change.
• Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior: recruitment, talent development, performance management, leadership, employee relations, organizational culture, workplace behavior, and well-being.
• Marketing Management: consumer behavior, branding, service marketing, digital and social-media marketing, customer relationships, marketing analytics, and market research.
• Financial Management: corporate finance, investment decisions, capital structure, working capital, financial planning, financial performance, and risk management.
• Operations and Supply Chain Management: production and service operations, logistics, procurement, supply chains, quality management, productivity, project management, and process improvement.
• Innovation and Entrepreneurship: innovation management, entrepreneurial orientation, start-ups, MSMEs, entrepreneurial ecosystems, product development, and business sustainability.
• Digital and Technology Management: digital transformation, management information systems, artificial intelligence in management, e-business, platform management, data-driven decision-making, and technology adoption.
• Sustainable and Responsible Management: corporate social responsibility, ESG-related management, business ethics, circular economy, green management, and sustainable organizational practices.
• International and Cross-Cultural Management: international business, global strategy, cross-cultural leadership, multinational organizations, and international market management.
• Public, Nonprofit, Education, and Service Management: studies in public agencies, nonprofit organizations, education, health services, tourism, creative industries, or other sectors when the central contribution is explicitly managerial.

Research Approaches

JPM welcomes quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, experimental, longitudinal, comparative, case-study, conceptual, bibliometric, and systematic-review approaches. The chosen design must be appropriate to the research question, reported transparently, and capable of supporting the conclusions. Interdisciplinary studies are considered when management remains the principal analytical perspective and contribution.

Generally Outside the Scope

• Manuscripts without a clear relationship to management theory, managerial practice, organizational decision-making, or management policy.
• Purely descriptive institutional, business, internship, training, or community-service reports that do not contain a research question, transparent method, analytical discussion, and scholarly contribution.
• Studies whose primary contribution belongs to medicine, clinical health, engineering, education, law, agriculture, religion, literature, or another discipline without an explicit management dimension.
• Commercial promotion, consultancy reports, personal opinion, advocacy without scholarly evidence, teaching materials, or material prepared mainly to advertise an organization, product, or service.
• Manuscripts containing fabricated or falsified data, plagiarism, undisclosed redundant publication, unethical research, or claims that cannot be supported by the reported evidence.

Editorial Scope Assessment

The editor evaluates scope from the manuscript's research question, theoretical framing, method, evidence, discussion, and stated contribution—not from the title or keywords alone.

Authors should consult the Author Guidelines before submission; the scientific assessment process is described in the Editorial and Peer Review Policy.
