is to be the most preferred management journal
“
Vision
which promotes applied research in
emergent themes that improves the practice of
management .
Mission 3
Author contributions from Academia & Practice Readership & accessibility to both fraternity Knowledge creation on emerging areas of management thought Blind Review Process to ensure high quality writing
Author Contribution
Originality of thought is a prerequisite to the contribution.
4 Only unpublished work will be accepted as contribution. No reprints
of articles will be accepted. The submitted papers, articles , case analyses, book reviews etc by
authors will be processed through two rounds of ‘blind review’ by an Editorial Committee of experts in the theme of the issue.
Readership & Accessibility 5
Readership amongst both practitioners as well as academia is aimed at. The reach of FBR should be such that it becomes accessible to both and
not just available in B school libraries. Lucid language rather than academic language; with an aim to attract
increased number of readers among the community is an adopted strategy.
6
Emerging Research Domains
Research writings as well as practitioner created knowledge in
emerging areas of management as opposed to saturated domains of management literature is preferred. Industry analysis of emerging business sectors both across urban &
rural India as well as International boundaries Innovation & freshness in the subjects, themes, topics is another
one of the strategies adopted by FBR. Each issue is themized such that the themes will not be identified
as functional HR , Marketing , Finance, IT or Operations but more likely to be across functions in perspective e.g. Sustainability .

Review Policy Process
It is a peer reviewed research journal to ensure high quality
readings. It also puts each issue through a blind review process of an
Editorial Expert committee specially appointed for the theme of the issue. FBR supports the Editorially directed process with the final word
being that of the Editor after the Special Guest Editor’s and experts screening.
