Special Issue on: "Leadership and Management: Challenges and Issues Facing Organisations in Developing Countries"

Guest Editor:
Mr. Ch. Shoaib Akhtar and Dr. Asma Khalid, Fatima Jinnah Women University, Pakistan
Prof. Dr. Kamariah Ismail and Prof. Dr. Amran Rasli, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia

The goal of this special issue will be to present research on challenges and issues faced by organisations in developing countries. Unlike organisations working and operating in developed countries, developing country organisations are facing issues and challenges that are different. The leadership and management styles of developing and newly developed Asian countries differ. Some of the theories that can be applied in developed countries become redundant in the Asian context especially if theories related to motivation, commitment, leadership etc are analysed. Therefore, to have an in-depth knowledge of challenges being faced by developing country organisations would yield new insights for theory building.

The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 2^nd International Conference on Governance and Public Policy (ICGPP’18), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.
