Articles can be empirical, theoretical or measurement oriented. Conceptual articles should provide new theoretical insights capable of advancing our understanding of management and organizations. Empirical articles should have well-articulated and strong theoretical foundations. All kinds of empirical methods -quantitative, qualitative or combinations – are acceptable.
RAM is structured into three sections. The first section, Human and Social Management in Organizations, publishes papers on organizational development focused on social and human issues, thus contributing to the creation of innovative management processes in organizations, based on relations of respect and reliance with stakeholders, values, organizational culture, diversity and organizational learning.
The second section, Strategic Finance, includes works covering the issue of how companies and individuals make decisions on funding and allocating resources (whether or not financial), based on parameters of the notion of creating shareholder/owner value.
