Dear Readers,

Greetings!

I am extremely excited to announce the inaugural issue of GLIMS Journal of Management Review and Transformation. This is an important milestone in our efforts of the past several months. Putting each piece of the journal together has been an extremely satisfying experience. I am humbled at the opportunity to contribute to the research focus and agenda of GLIMS Journal of Management Review and Transformation. Such endeavors are always of national importance, and I feel proud that I am a part of this journey.

   There are many outlets for research work today. With this journal, we hope to fill a gap of “relevance” in what the industry requires and academic research agenda. Focusing on articles that are aligned to both, the journal will be able to address issues that the industry is currently facing and provide innovative solutions for them. For the reason that the journal is largely oriented toward contemporary topics, it should attract the readership from not only academia but also from practitioners. By keeping the journal open access, we are hoping to significantly increase the reach of the work to a larger audience.

   I am deeply indebted to the eminent scholars in the editorial board of the journal for being a part of this journey with us. It is a matter of privilege for us that prominent scholars have contributed papers for our inaugural issue. Under tight deadlines, they have provided us with very interesting articles in lines with our aims and scope. I sincerely thank you all for your trust in us.

   I encourage you all to submit your research here and enable us to take the research agenda globally to greater heights. With an aim to bridge the gap between research and what is relevant to the industry, and with the journal being in an open-access format, we hope for all publications through this journal to be impactful and easily accessible to a wide audience.

   Best wishes!
