Call for Papers

We are seeking papers on research into Chinese Management. The best papers will be considered for possible publication in the Chinese Management Studies (CMS) Journal. With the rapid rise of China, the world is recognizing the making of a new discipline: Chinese management (中华管理）. As China moves to centre stage in global economics, there is a greater urgency for rigorous, scholarly papers on Chinese management.  In addition to empirical work, there is a need for research that clearly demonstrates how timeless Chinese values, beliefs, philosophy, culture and ethos are integrated into the practice of Chinese management.  This is the unique approach of Chinese Management Studies.
