Advances in Doctoral Research in Management (ADRM) is a refereed academic research book series which publishes an annual volume devoted to disseminate excellence in doctoral research in management. It publishes seminal and challenging international doctoral research that could be seen as a benchmark in academic effectiveness which embraces the whole spectrum of academic research philosophies (from phenomenological/ideographic to positivistic/nomothetic research).

Aims and Scope

• To provide a robust refereed outlet for doctoral researchers in the management/business field.
• To encourage doctoral candidates to disseminate their work and receive positive and constructive feedback on their research projects.
• To create a "focused forum and stage" in which some of the new and (potentially important) future research paradigms will be presented and tested among academics.
• To become a most relevant academic publication in terms of the introduction of methodological issues, techniques and approaches which will ultimately benefit doctoral students, their supervisors and other researchers.

The planned scope will entail the following perspectives:

• The annual volume's coverage is cross-disciplinary since it entails all doctoral research output in the broad areas of management and business.
• The main management disciplines from which it is expected to derive submissions will include marketing, strategy, international business, operations management, organisational behaviour, human resource management, organisational systems, finance, managerial economics and technology management.

Format

The content of "Advances in Doctoral Research in Management" will be solelybased on theoretical, empirical, academic research based papers covering a variety of conceptualisations, theoretical frameworks, reviews of the literature, research modelling approaches, as well as research typologies ranging from case study research and action research to grounded theory and quantitative research methods, as well as issues related to covering the PhD process itself (i.e., supervision, mock vivas, graduate teaching, etc.).

The mainstream research papers in any area of management have to be authored, at least, by a doctoral candidate. Strong methodology-based papers can be authored by researchers (does not have to be a doctoral student) as well as any doctoral research process issue-based papers.

The structure of the Publication will encompass up to 30 leading research papers (on average), occasional research commentaries, doctoral colloquia/conferences announcements, notes for contributors and special calls for papers.
