Abstract: Abstract The Asia Pacific Journal of Management (APJM) has been instrumental in advancing management research specific to the Asia-Pacific region for four decades. This article underscores the importance of leveraging the unique contextual features of the Asia-Pacific region to enrich and refine management theories. Traditional management theories, often rooted in Western contexts, may not fully capture the complexities of the Asia-Pacific region’s diverse and dynamic environment. The article highlights the need for context-specific research that considers the region’s economic, institutional, and cultural diversity. It calls for a deeper exploration of under-researched areas of management. By contextualizing existing theories and developing new ones grounded in the Asia-Pacific context, the Asia Pacific Journal of Management aims to provide valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners. The editorial also outlines the journal’s vision to promote diverse perspectives, encourage submissions from underrepresented contexts, and celebrate contributions that significantly advance the understanding of management in the Asia-Pacific region.
