Pratibimba- The journal of imis

Pratibimba- The Journal of Institute of Management and Information Science started its journey in the year 2001 with focus on promoting knowledge and in-depth research among academic communities around the world. Pratibimba has always been committed to feature academically oriented articles and we hope that the journal will continue to be a forum for carrying on an interdisciplinary dialogue across the various fields of management. Pratibimba has traditionally published articles with a more positivist approach. We continue to invite papers with a quantitative focus. A more substantive interpretation employing qualitative approaches to markets, organizations, economy, accounting, information technology, human resource, business strategies, and policy, ethics, finance, and production processes is also encouraged. We also strongly encourage authors to focus on understanding societal ramifications of corporate and state actions, as it affects stakeholders such as consumers, workers, stockholders, local communities, and the environment. This is a challenging area of inquiry for researchers. Pratibimba, as the name suggests which means shadow will always stay with researchers in the journey of making outstanding contribution to the field of management.
