Management and Labour Studies
Management and Labour Studies (MLS) is the official publication of XLRI School of Business and Human Resources, Jamshedpur, published in collaboration with SAGE Publications.
XLRI, the oldest B-school in India, was founded in 1949 by a few visionary Jesuit Fathers to bring a change in the economy and society at large. The institute always strives to be a management school with a difference. XLRI has always had and maintains a global outlook. We were the first among management schools in India to internationalise our academic programmes. Renowned personalities, distinguished industrialists, academicians and stewards of Jamshedpur Jesuit Society have been part of the institute as Board of Governors, leaders and administrators, teachers and guides. True to its vision, XLRI strives to offer an education which just does not culminate in a degree, but also inspires future business leaders to respond to the unmet needs of the society. It is ranked among top 5 of the India’s best business schools by Business Today. It has also been ranked 84th in the world by CEOWorld Magazine.
In line with its mission of disseminating research and extending the frontiers of knowledge, MLS?a quarterly peer-reviewed journal?was started in 1975. It has since been catering to scholars in the area of business management and related fields of social sciences.
Initially internally published, it is now a part of SAGE Journals, one of the world’s leading independent academic publisher.
The journal’s editorial team comprises distinguished professors from well-known institutions?both from India and all over the world. The team is diverse and comprises members from all areas of management.
MLS receives articles from scholars across India and is looked up to as one of the top journals to be published as it gives the authors high visibility with its multidisciplinary audience. Studies and papers written by scholars in the field of business and personnel management and industrial and corporate law, economics, etc. are published in the journal.
A high standard of academic rigour is maintained through a rigorous peer review process. Addressed to professional managers and academicians, this quarterly refereed journal focuses on the latest thinking and research in the areas of management, labour and related subjects.
The journal publishes articles on a range of areas in management and related areas of social sciences, including primarily psychology, economics, history, international relations, media and mass communication and sociology, and secondarily, language and linguistics, geography, demographics and politics. It aims to provide a forum for discussion on the salient features relating to the whole field of management.
The journal follows a rigorous double-blind review policy.
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
