IIM Kozhikode Society & Management Review is a bi-annual journal from the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode. The journal aims to connect to the management community—academia, businesses, public institutions, NGOs, and the Government—by way of motivating research and publishing rigorous, clear and widely accessible articles concerning business management and broader society. Scope of business management has broadened to account for societal implications. Resource con­straints are binding in a much more perceptible way today along with heightened social consciousness. This has percolated into the consciousness of communities worldwide with profound implications for sustainability in business and society. Similarly, business management principles have received wider acceptance in organizations primarily responsible for societal well-being. IIM Kozhikode Society & Management Review intends to highlight the significance of this broadened perspective by addressing its emerging challenges, innovations, idiosyncrasies and accomplishments. In doing so, the journal aims to bring out the many facets of management and their complex interrelationships. Moreover, of special interest would be contributions juxtaposing Eastern and Western philosophies in the context of contem­porary management practices. The journal will primarily publish relevant research articles from all functional areas of business management, and perspective articles on evolving trends, insights and philosophies in management. Published articles will undergo a double blind peer review process and pass two fundamental criteria— relevance to the journal’s theme and contribution to the management literature.
