EDITORIAL POLICY
To publish teaching and research cases on Asian firms or multinational corporations (MNCs) operating in Asia, and occasionally case writing/teaching articles. Cases may relate to any business discipline.
Cases may be based on field research or research from secondary sources. They must not be fictional cases and should be relatively recent. Field research cases should be accompanied by letters of authorization to publish from field organizations.
Teaching cases must be accompanied by teaching notes. Teaching notes should clearly mention the teaching objectives of the case, and provide useful suggestions for how these objectives can be met. Cases should contain sufficient information to be able to meet the
objectives. Although teaching notes will not be published, they are crucial to the review process.
Only original cases or articles (not previously published or not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere) will be reviewed.
Cases and articles will receive a blind review from at least two reviewers, after an initial editorial review.
Upon acceptance and publication of a case or an article, copyright will be transferred to the Publisher. However, authors will be free to use their own material in other publi-cations written or edited by themselves on prior approval from the Publisher, provided that when they do this, they make proper acknowledgement to the Journal and the Publisher.
