MTMI publishes a scholarly and refereed journal that provides an authoritative source of information for scholars, academicians, and professionals in the fields of business and retail management. The journal promotes the advancement, understanding, and practice of business & retail management. Manuscripts offering theoretical, conceptual, and practical contributions are encouraged.

IJEM aims to promote the original contributions on a wide range of topics relevant to effective management. It is an interdisciplinary journal directed towards academicians, policymakers, government, non-government organizations, and business practitioners of global firms. IJEM is a peer-reviewed journal by at least two reviewers. We maintain the policy for a full double-blind refereeing process for all articles submitted to it for publication.

Only original articles must be submitted to this journal. Please include in the submission letter a statement indicating that the paper is the author(s)'s original work, that neither this paper nor a version of it has been published elsewhere nor is being considered for publication elsewhere. The International Journal of Effective Management (IJEM), the editors, editorial and advisory board members, and the MTMI are not responsible for authors' views in the International Journal of Effective Management (IJEM).

The Scope of the Journal

As a publisher, MTMI has substantial experience in journal publishing and pioneering new journals.

Our philosophy is to map new frontiers in emerging and developing business areas in research, industry, and governance and link with centers of excellence worldwide to provide authoritative coverage in specialist fields.

Our goal is to foster and promote innovative thinking in business, retail, and management fields. We collaborate with numerous fields rather than segment into specific areas of research. Hence, our objectives are to build new links, networks, and collaborations between researchers' global communities to stimulate and enhance creativity.

Our continued success lies in bringing together research dimensions to encourage industry and public sector growth worldwide. Thus, research on global businesses and international retail management is highly within the areas of our interest. Similarly, expert opinions and professional commentaries are also published to set collaborative directions for future researchers.

MTMI, therefore, prides itself in ensuring the high quality and professional standards expected of its journals by pursuing a full double-blind refereeing process for all articles submitted to it for publication.
