“We had the great privilege of taking on the roles of Co-Editors of the International Journal of Marketing Principles and Practices. At this milestone we want to briefly update the members of the International Institute of Marketing Professionals IIMP™ on the IJMPP Journal development.
Our vision for IJMPP Journal emphasizes building its position as the flagship journal of the Marketing Management discipline. IJMPP Journal initiation is directly attributable to the thoughtful leadership, organization, and effort of Mr. Nisar Butt President & CEO of IIMP™ together with the IIMP™ valued & esteemed members.
We see ourselves first and foremost as stewards of this asset – we are committed to make IJMPP Journal the most desired destination for the best research in Marketing Management as well as the reference for the cutting edge practice in the field. As a result, we fully expect that the papers we publish will lead and reflect the field as it grows and evolves. The three Co-Editors and the distinguished Editorial Board are focused on providing developmental, open-minded, and timely reviews for all submissions.
In doing so, we value research & practice that both addresses important gaps in existing approaches to marketing management and creates new perspectives that move beyond existing theories and arguments. Hence, we view our role as taking an ‘author’s perspective’ on submissions, with the goal of helping to make the work as strong as possible. We look forward to work with all prospective IJMPP Journal authors in this exciting journey.
The Journal aims at a significant growth spurt in its first period. This is undoubtedly due to the continued health and growth of the marketing discipline worldwide. With globalization and the rapid development of countries such as China, India, Brazil, and many others has come increasing interest in strategy and scholarship related to marketing management.
The magnitude of our plans is evident through the dedication of our team and the support available from all related advisory councils.
We are fortunate to have the honor of being Co-Editors of a Journal published as part of such a an auspicious institution as the of IIMP™, where the investment in the Journal is planned to pay huge intellectual dividends for the field.
Finally, the journal is planning to publish its inaugural issue in the second quarter of 2011 with bi-monthly issues, 6 issues each year; Our goal is to consistently target questions and issues that push the boundaries of the discipline.
