Özet

Research in any discipline establishes the groundwork for advancing knowledge, facilitating learning, and solving problems. Management research is conducive to observing the world and decision-making wonders through a novel outlook. Such research is a fabulous tool for addressing emerging topics and challenges for which scientific data cannot be accessible due to budding awareness of the phenomena. Writing and publishing complement each other and require specific technical knowledge to give a final look for publishing a paper in a top-rating journal. Common challenges subvert authors’ efforts to elucidate their understanding and practice. This paper has identified, articulated, and successfully addressed these hurdles to publishing. A trail guide for different components of a typical research paper is also presented by benchmarking the best business, ethics, and management research practices. This study is the first guideline in writing management papers and is conducive to producing high-quality imperative research for scholars.
