Special Issue on: "Transforming Management Systems for Innovation, Development and Governance"

Guest Editor:
Prof. Dhruba Kumar Gautam, Nepalese Academy of Management and Tribhuvan University, Nepal

This special issue aims to encourage scholars to question existing paradigms and practices in management systems and to bridge the gaps in innovative ideas, new models and systems for institutions with suggestions for competencies development. The issue’s goal is to open an interesting and fruitful dialogue on the most pertinent issues in management and economics, and to stimulate a sustainable view of competitiveness.
