Management Decision: In Motion

 “In Motion” is a unique section of our academic journal, Management Decision, dedicated to bridging the gap between theory and practice. Unlike traditional academic sections that often focus solely on theoretical advancements, “In Motion” emphasizes the practical application of research. Our goal is to provide actionable insights and solutions that managers and leaders can implement in real-world scenarios.
 

Focus Areas

Applicability over Theory: Submitters are encouraged to prioritize the practical applicability of their research. We are looking for papers that move beyond abstract concepts and offer tangible, actionable advice.

Real-World Use Cases: We welcome submissions that include real-world use cases and case studies. These should illustrate how theoretical principles have been effectively applied in actual situations, providing valuable lessons for others.

Generalizability: While we value detailed case studies, the insights and recommendations should be generalizable. The goal is to offer advice that can be adapted and applied across various contexts and industries.

Advice for Managers and Leaders: Our primary audience includes managers and leaders seeking practical guidance. Submissions should provide clear, actionable advice that helps these professionals navigate challenges and make informed decisions.
