Notes for Contributors

1 Manuscripts and all editorial correspondence should be addressed to: The Editor, Asian Journal of Management Cases, Lahore University of Management Sciences, Opposite Sector U, DHA, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan. E-mail: ajmc@lums.edu.pk.

2 Contributors must provide their affiliations and complete postal and e-mail addresses with their papers.

3 All articles and cases should be submitted in duplicate and accompanied by an abstract of 200 words. Up to six keywords should also be supplied. The whole script should be typed only on one side of the paper (preferably A4) and double-spaced throughout (not only the text but also the abstract, displayed quotations, notes, references and any other matter). Manuscripts should be accompanied by a CD-ROM or floppy disc in IBM compatible format, preferably in MS Word, and identical in every respect to the hard copy. Notes should be numbered serially and presented at the end of the article. Notes must contain more than a mere reference.

4 Use ‘z’ in ‘-ize’ and ‘-ization’ words. Use British rather than American spellings.

5 Use single quotes throughout. Double quotes only used within single quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from the text and indented with one space with a line space above and below.

6 Use ‘twentieth century’, ‘1980s’. Spell out numbers from one to ninety-nine, 100 and above to remain in figures. However, for exact measurements, use only figures (3 km, 9 per cent, not%). Use thousands and millions, not lakhs and crores.

7 Use of italics and diacriticals should be minimized, but used consistently.

8 Tables and figures to be indicated by number separately (see Table 1), not by placement (see Table below). Present each table and figure on a separate sheet of paper, gathering them together at the end of the article.

9 A consolidated alphabetical list of all books, articles, essays and theses referred to (including any referred to in the tables, graphs and maps) should be provided. It should be typed in double-spacing and will be printed at the end of the article. All articles, books and theses should be listed in alphabetical order of author, giving the author’s surname first followed by initials. If more than one publication by the same author is listed, the items should be given in chronological order. References should be embedded in the text in the anthropological style. For example: ‘(Sarkar 1987: 145)’. Citations should be first alphabetical and then chronological, for example, ‘(Ahmed 1987; Sarkar 1987; Wignaraja 1960)’.
