Abstract
The purpose of the study is to explore the role of ‘Vision: the Journal of Business Perspective’, the management research journal of Management Development Institute Gurgaon in creation and dissemination of knowledge pertaining to various management disciplines. An in-depth study of the journal issues for the past six years was conducted. A total of 24 issues were analyzed, consisting of about 160 articles, research papers and management cases. It was found that the journal gives great importance to empirical evidence in research papers. Also, it promotes the participation of eminent industrialists and executives in contributing to a research journal.
Introduction
Since the prehistoric era, leaving a mark using symbols and pictures was human beings’ method of gathering and disseminating knowledge for the future generations. In the ancient civilizations, invention and improvisation of text and tools to embark them made it more convenient for the wise species. The modern man developed various techniques for creation and sharing of wisdom. Books and scholarly journals, which have been in existence for over 340 years (Solomon, D. J., 2007) are an academician’s most handy tools for publishing and finding alternate perspectives or schools of thought.
Journals have been the birth place and cradle of numerous debates, researches, monologues and so forth. Yet, not much literature is available on how they encourage such an atmosphere. One can assume that it will be interesting to analyze the variables of knowledge creation and dissemination through journal articles. Being an Indian, I feel that reviewing a general management journal of an Indian origin will rightly serve the purpose of this article. ‘Vision: The Journal of Business Perspective’ is one such journal in management, issued by Management Development Institute, Gurgaon, NCR, and published by Sage
