The journal carries cases drawn from South, Central and South-West Asia plus the Middle East. It covers all the major management areas including accounting and finance, business ethics, entrepreneurship, human resource management, marketing, organizational behavior and strategic management.
A peer-reviewed journal, it carries high quality teaching and research cases covering a wide range of management challenges, to tackle which new responses and processes are needed.
Each issue of AJMC comprises four to five original teaching, research or analytical case studies, each with summaries and questions to facilitate both teaching and learning. Cases should be accompanied with a teaching note. Even though, the teaching note will not be published, it is necessary for the review process.

Guidelines for Contributors to Asian Journal of Management Cases
All submissions are subject to double-blind peer-review. Please select the appropriate manuscript type while submitting your manuscript online.
Teaching Cases Research/Analytical Cases: A Teaching Note is mandatory for a teaching case. The teaching note is not published but it is crucial to the review process. We would not want to accept a Teaching Case submission without an accompanying Teaching Note. However, a teaching note is not required if the submission falls under the Research or Analytical Case category.
