Management Research has expanded significantly in recent years, making it difficult for scholars to follow advances in multiple specialized subfields.

The objective of this theme based journal is to quickly update the researchers in specific fields. Facilitating them with latest Research Paper, Bibliography of research papers and books.
The goal of AJMR is to bring fresh perspective to research in management and take research to masses through its open access, internet based technology. AJMR is a quarterly journal, and every quarter a new topic/theme is chosen and paper pertaining to it are called for and subsequently reviewed for publication. We take this opportunity to invite research papers, case studies, monographs on the below stated theme.
The theme for the August issue is “Business Intelligence, Analysis and Strategy”
Background Theme
The key to thriving in a competitive marketplace is staying ahead of the competition. Making sound business decisions based on accurate and current information takes more than intuition. Business success depends upon opportunities availed, strategy designed and action taken.
But in most of the situation like in retail where Fifty-Three percent (53%) of large retailers indicate that customer analysis is difficult due to enormity of data from different channels. Retailers have more data than they are capable of processing. More often than not retailers blame disparate sources and enormity of customer data as the primary reason for lack of adequate consumer insights that inhibits new customer acquisition, customer retention and reactivation. This inability curtails effective retail planning and execution in the areas of customer-centric merchandising, marketing, promotion and pricing, among other critical customer value chain areas. Many large retailers including Wal-Mart and Lowe’s try and grapple with this customer data complexity every day. CRM tools are pivotal in the “before the sale” stage of customer-centric retailing. But CRM has its limitation. The retail now like other businesses is shifting to BI (Business Intelligence) with is advance tools and options.
Business intelligence (BI) is a broad category which includes applications and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data to help enterprise users make better and more informed business decisions. Business Intelligence applications include the activities of decision support systems, query and reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP), statistical analysis, forecasting, and data mining.
BI data and reporting provides unit-level consumer buying trends, category, channel, store sales analysis and predictive buying behavior data analysis. BI applications that gather, analyze and share consumer insights in retail through basic reporting and customer performance dashboards can directly or indirectly impact retail profitability, customer sales and service performance. Currently, 20% of companies in different sectors are using Business Intelligence across the world. There is very little knowledge on its advantages, implementation and tools of Business Intelligence. At the same time very few research papers are published are published in Indian journals. AJMR invites research paper on this emerging topic.
