The Executive Journa: Management Best Practices Papers

Editorial Statement:

Welcome to the Executive Journal (EJ).  The Executive Journal  is an open access project with contributions from leading industry experts and management consultants.The journal's mission to encourage management best practices dissemination. We will pursue this mission by publishing think tank and management consulting papers in a format targeting public and private sector CEOs and senior executives. EJ is intended to create an expert platform for new forms of management knowledge creation and dissemination.

Bridging Research and Practice
EJ is a management best practices publishing platform, it is not a a traditional academic research publishing platform.
Many of our clients find academic research to be fuzzy and mostly rooted in theory and text books. Even some of the best research tends to be written in a language and format that are hardly useful for a practicing executive.

The aim of journal is to bridge such gaps by providing a new media outlet that emphasizes application-based content, combined with a "simple to understand and use" format.

EJ will provide access to new case studies, insights and lessons learned to challenge assumptions rooted in tradition and outdated management thoughts and practices. EJ's main focus is on breakthroughs in management thoughts and best practices, hence the publication process is highly selective. Academic researchers may submit their papers, but only if formatted in a consulting or white paper format.

The main difference is that all published authors are required to frame their findings in such a way as to highlight managerial applicability. All practice-based white papers, case studies and articles are welcome. Using easy to read illustration diagrams, checklists, bullet points and tables is highly encouraged.

Management Best Practices Awards
T
he Institute plans to publish a compilation of best white papers and articles in electronic and print format. The work will be available for free access online.

Best Practices Papers

The goal of the think tank research is to provide innovative solutions to complex socioeconomic problems.  The research results are published in the form of management best practices and policy white papers. Unlike academic research papers, the Institute's white papers are succinct work documents designed for communication and problem-solving by the public and private sector CEOs.

White papers provide businesses and government leaders with:

  1. A statement of the problem or opportunity
  2. Analysis of root causes and driving forces
  3. Proposed solution and implementation best practices. 

The white papers are followed with pilot projects to utilize and disseminate the research results. The dissemination of the results can be a combination of publications, training workshops, consulting and coaching services. Depending on the funding of each project, the dissemination and the exploitation of results can be in the form of commercial, non-profit or free open courseware.
