PLEASE NOTE:

The Contemporary Management Research is a double-blind reviewed academic journal. All theoretical, empirical and applied manuscripts will be considered for publication.
The external environment for all enterprises is rapidly changing. Global competition, technology development, global climate change, and many emergent business issues formulate significant challenge to business managers. Thus, the Contemporary Management Research has made a deliberate decision to re-focus its scopes on the recently development of contemporary management. From now on, we encourage scholars to focus their research on the emergent issues rather than traditional issues in business fields. We hope to narrow down the scopes of Contemporary Management Research in order to provide up-to-date knowledge for business management and academic researchers.
The prefer scopes include but not limited to the following topics:
- AI application: Application and impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in business management
- CSR/Ethic: Corporate social responsibility and business ethic
- EC: Electronic commerce and mobile commerce
- Fintech application: Application and impact of financial technology in business management
- IS/IT and Internet: Application and impact of advanced IT/IS/Internet in business management
- Marketing: Marketing and consumer behavior in Internet age
- Sustainable: Enduring commitment to environmental principles in business management.
- Technology, entrepreneur and innovation: Business management enabled by technology, entrepreneur and innovation.
