International Journal of Management and Cross Cultural Research publishes papers on all aspects of Management Research in Cross Cultural Dimension.

Papers should contain results of original research not previously published nor under consideration for publication elsewhere. Papers presented at conferences which are only abstracted in the Conference Proceedings are also acceptable. Submission of a paper further implies that its publication has been approved by all authors and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form without the consent of the copyright holders. All papers are refereed. There are no page charges.

Authors are requested to exercise utmost care in preparation of the manuscripts so that there is little need to incorporate alterations at the proofreading stage. Proofs should be returned within three days of receipt. For each article, 10 reprints are supplied free of charge to the first author. Additional copies are

charged for which the order form is sent along with the page proofs.

Tables and figures should be titled in such a way that the content is easily understood.

To improve the readability of the manuscript, any mathematical proof or development that is not critical to the exposition of the main part of the text may be placed in a technical appendix.

All technical and quantitative features must be carefully checked for precision.

 

Please avoid using Equation Editor for simple in-line mathematical copy, symbols, and equations. Type these in Word instead, using the “Symbol” function when necessary. For example, all Greek characters; simple superscripted or subscripted characters; plus, minus, greater than (or equal to)/less than (or equal to), and so forth, can all be inserted by simply typing the characters in Word. For display equations or in-line characters that use multiple levels, stacked super- and subscripts, or any character not available in Word’s “Symbol” menu, use of Equation Editor is appropriate. In addition, please avoid stacking in-line equations. If the equation is difficult, place it as a display rather than in line and number it accordingly.

References should follow AMA style. For samples, view AMA Reference List Style.

References are to be listed alphabetically, last name first, followed by publication date in parentheses. Use full first name, not just initials. The reference list should be typed double spaced on a separate page. Do not use indents, tabs, or symbols to delineate your paragraphs. Instead, use two hard returns between each reference. The reference list is not intended to serve as a bibliography; all unnecessary, redundant, or tangential references should be eliminated.

Each reference should be cited in text at the appropriate place. Do not include uncited works in the reference list.

For citations of up to three authors, list all author names; for four or more authors, use the first author's name followed by "et al." (no italics). A series of citations should be listed in alphabetical order and separated by semicolons: (Donnelly 1961; Kinsey 1960; Wensley 1981).

Citation in the text should be by the author's last name and year of publication, enclosed in parentheses without punctuation: "(Kinsey 1960)." If you use the author's name within the sentence, there is no need to repeat the name in the citation; just use the year of publication in parentheses, as in "The Howard Harris Program (1966)…." If a particular page, section, or equation is cited, it should be placed within the parentheses: "(Kinsey 1960, p. 112)."

On final submission, the Web Appendix must be submitted in either Word or PDF form and be ready to post as is. Use Times New Roman 12-point font (for heading styles, see below). Please ensure that you proofread the material carefully for all errors. Because of space constraints, the Web appendix should be saved as a document, not an image. In addition, the PDF should be no larger than 5 MB.

Do not include more than one Web Appendix. Organize the Web Appendix using the following heading styles:

If there are multiple themes in the Web Appendix (i.e., if you would have otherwise included more than one appendix), use Level 1 headings to separate your themes and then Level 2 and 3 subheadings to further subdivide your themes.

All equation should be numbered in sequence from the beginning to the end of the Web Appendix. Because in-text equations are numbered 1, 2, …, N, and because any print-based equations in the appendixes will be numbered A1, A2, …, AN, the Web Appendix equations should be numbered and referred to as W1, W2, …, WN.

Articles published in IJMCCR should not be reproduced or reprinted in any form, either in full or in part, without prior written permission from the Chief Editor.
