publish articles in a wide spectrum of topics that would inform a broad 
cross-sectional and multi-disciplinary readership ranging from the 
academic and professional research communities to industry consultants 
and practitioners, and seeks to publish a balanced mix of high quality 
theoretical or empirical research articles, case studies, book reviews, 
tutorials, editorials.
