Abstract: Abstract This research represents a comprehensive review of the articles published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Management (APJM) between 2005 and 2014, the journal’s early “adulthood.” It provides an overview of the evolution of this body of research across different dimensions: types of articles, international scope of the research, contributing scholars and institutions, scientific collaboration and non-academic cooperation paths as APJM developed as an Academy of Management associated journal. It also analyzes the impact of its published articles on the research field—based on traditional direct, indirect, and weighted impact measurements as well as on alternative metrics—and the journal’s performance. APJM’s early adulthood was featured by rapid and positive changes in terms of numbers, reach, international scope, scientific collaboration, article impact, and overall journal performance. Furthermore, the journal is currently ranked among the better management journals worldwide and has become the first among all management journals with a declared regional focus. Some hurdles remain and new challenges must be faced; among them, increasing the volume of conceptual works and developing the journal’s scope by publishing a higher number of pieces of research dealing with organization and management issues relevant from a global (not only regional) perspective and continuing the journal’s general improvement and growth.
