Detailed Call for Papers: 

Systematic Reviews and Theory Building:

Directions for Research, Theory and Practice

Editors: Justin Paul
& Chris Rowley

It is worth noting that hundreds of research papers have been published using the same old theories, measures and methods. Ideally, researchers should look for new and novel ideas theories, measures and methods that can serve as a platform for future research, instead of using the same old stuff in a recycled and replete way. Theory building papers and Systematic Review studies serve as base/platform/lens for future research as they identify research gaps and suggest exciting new directions for a given field of research, many times with reference to Methodology, Constructs/Variables, Theory and Contexts.  Theoretical models developed as part of Review studies can be used by researchers and practitioners as typologies/ base/ lens in their empirical research.  They would be great addition to the literature.

This is a call for such articles that would serve as base/lens/platform for future research. Please avoid submitting articles which do not have Newness and Novelty.

We propose to consider 6 different types of REVIEW Papers (See below) in all subject areas of business and management covered by the journal and related to the Asia pacific region, ie Strategy, Marketing, Human Resource Management, International Business, Leadership, etc. These types are outlined at the end with examples to learn about the structure, purpose and method followed to be considered, used and referenced.
