GRWS International Journal of Applied Commerce and Strategic Management is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to advancing theoretical knowledge, applied research, professional practice, and policy development in commerce, business administration, and strategic management.
The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, academicians, industry professionals, policymakers, entrepreneurs, consultants, and postgraduate scholars to communicate original research and evidence-based perspectives concerning contemporary commercial practices and strategic organisational decision-making. It encourages contributions that connect established management theories with practical business challenges in regional, national, and international contexts.
The journal publishes research covering applied commerce, accounting, finance, banking, marketing, human resource management, entrepreneurship, corporate governance, business economics, operations management, supply-chain management, international business, digital commerce, organisational behaviour, strategic leadership, innovation management, sustainability, and allied interdisciplinary areas.
Particular emphasis is placed on studies that demonstrate methodological rigour, practical relevance, originality, and a meaningful contribution to academic scholarship or professional practice. The journal welcomes quantitative, qualitative, mixed-method, conceptual, comparative, case-based, and interdisciplinary research.
All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo an initial editorial assessment to determine their relevance, academic quality, and ethical compliance. Suitable submissions are processed through a double-blind peer-review system, where author and reviewer identities remain confidential. Final publication decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief or an authorised academic editor based on independent recommendations and editorial standards.
The journal supports unrestricted dissemination of scholarly knowledge. All published articles are freely accessible online for readers to read, download, and share under applicable licensing. This open-access model improves research visibility, academic impact, and practical application while allowing authors to retain key publication rights.
To fulfill its academic mandate, the journal directs its efforts across key objectives:
