One of the ways to get hold of sustained prominence in the world of academics and research is to publish research based articles in reputed journals, which are published by reputed academic institutions and research organizations across the world. This can showcase the talent and level of knowledge of a researcher among the large community of researchers within a very short period of time, and this is perhaps the best possible way to demonstrate the research works being carried out by the researcher. Now, if the number of academic journals across several domains of academics is looked at, then it can be seen that the count is overwhelming, and it increases on a daily basis. Now deciding on a journal based on quality and readership is undoubtedly a critical task for a researcher, as picking up one journal out of a number of several thousand calls for a kind of effort, which is timely, and sometimes not worthy at all, as the quality of the selected journal may not be assured.

There are several organizations in the world, which assist researchers in publishing annual journal ranking in accordance with the academic domains and impact factor. Some of these organizations are Australia Business Deans Council report, Scimago journal ranking, Financial Times report, Thompson Reuters’ citation report etc. These reports provide the researchers with a very comprehensive journal ranking, and by making use of these rankings, a researcher can pick up a journal, where he / she can publish the paper. However, it has also been seen that a number of good quality journals are not included in those reports, and majorly journals from developed nations occupy the majority of the lists. Therefore, the researcher has to be extremely careful while selecting or rejecting any journal based on these reports, as they are too biased sometimes.

There are several domains of management, which are being studied at the individual level. For example, financial management deals with the management of financial resources of a firm, organizational behavior and human resource management deals with the management of the workforce and the clientele, operations management deals with the production process and optimizations of existing operations of a firm, marketing management deals with the pricing, promotion, and selling of the products and services being manufactured or designed by the firm, and economic deals with the business environment, in which the firm is operating. Now, if being looked at all these domains closely, then it can be experienced that even though all of these domains are interdisciplinary in nature, these domains are being dealt with individualistic approach in almost all the academic institutions. Therefore, in order to encapsulate them all, there was a need for another domain in management, and that’s how the domain of strategic management came into the picture.

Whenever a firm thinks of adopting a new strategy either for expansion or introducing any new product or service in the market, it has to incorporate all the divisions of the firm into consideration, else the holistic approach will be largely missed out in the strategic decision. Strategic Management takes care of this aspect. Under purview of this domain, the entire firm is considered as a single unit, and the analysis starts with assessment of the external environment, which consists of competitors, vendors, possible industry entrants, and the industrial policies. Once assessed, based of the intended objective, action plans of concerned departments are finalized, and then the functionalities of other departments are streamlined with the same. This streamlining actually integrates all the departments along with the external environment of the firm.
