Since the year 2008, Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies has been taking out an annual journal, Jidnyasa (ISSN: 0976-0326 Jidnyasa), which publishes management papers (empirical, conceptual and review), Case Studies and Book Reviews. The journal has been converted to a bi-annual format since June 2015.
The journal is now named as Journal of Applied Management - Jidnyasa
Jidnyasa in Sanskrit means a thirst for knowledge – the meaning that profoundly resonates with the core ideology behind any institute of learning in the world. The journal is a rich source of information on the various practices in the business world today. It is a compendium of knowledge gathered from faculty (both in-house as well as external), students and representatives from the industry; and is indicative of the direction in which the corporate world is heading. The dynamic business scenario requires us to have clarity of vision, which can only be achieved through enriching our perceptions. Jidnyasa helps us in realizing this vision.
Jidnyasa has been launched with a dual objective. The first objective is to nurture a culture of disciplined and focused research amongst student managers and academicians. The second objective is to provide a medium for industry practitioners to enrich themselves from the research and viewpoints of scholars and experienced industry persons and apply them with suitable modifications and situations they are called upon to handle.
