Description:

Management and Labour Studies (MLS) is the official publication of XLRI– Jamshedpur, published in collaboration with Sage. XLRI–Xavier School of Management– is one of the oldest B-schools in India to bring a change in the economy and society at large.  First published in 1975, Management and Labour Studies draws on the ancient Indian spirit of jñana—a philosophy that values experiential knowledge as the pathway to self-realization, deeper worldly insight, and ultimate liberation. Resonating with the central idea of empirical learning, the first issue of MLS advocated the incorporation of basic managerial skills in life and the impact of wages on industrial disputes, along with other impactful management theories.   MLS recognizes that contemporary business practices are situated at the layered intersectionalities of operations, processes, and behavior. Therefore, aimed at both scholars and practitioners, the journal continues to serve as a platform for advancing insights into business decision-making, human resources, and organizational dynamics with a strong focus on bridging theory and practice.    The journal’s editorial team comprises distinguished professors from well-known institutions around the world. The diverse team of academicians from different areas of management adds intellectual depth to the journal. A high standard of academic rigour is maintained through a double-anonymized peer-review process. Addressed to professional managers and academicians, this quarterly refereed journal offers several key insights into theory, practice, and policymaking. Moreover, it has also been at the forefront in offering effective reference tools for industry leaders.
