Issues of governance, responsibility and accountability are becoming increasingly important as the world, simultaneously, becomes dominated by corporations, interconnected via forces of globalisation and transparent through heightened media attention and the rise in internet-led democracy. Companies, and in particular leaders of business, can no longer hide from their responsibilities to wider stakeholder community by claims of ignorance of corporate malpractices and of failure. Boards of directors are being increasingly made responsible for both the successes and failures of their companies, as well as their own conduct and behaviours. Actions of business have increasingly become a concern not just for shareholders but also for the wider community at large.

Business processes have played an important role in enabling business application integration and collaboration across multiple organisations. The integration can be categorised into two types: internal integration and external integration. Internal integration includes all the integration aspects within one enterprise.

The typical business process based external application integration includes business process to application integration (BP2Ai) and business process to business process integration (BP2BPi).

There is a burgeoning development of theories but unfortunately very few make it into management practice. Explanations for this are many and varied but can be classified into two major reasons: theories that are too narrow and far removed from the realities and intricacies of the world of practice, and second sound theories which are unfortunately written and discussed in a manner that confines them to forever live in the confines of academic corridors. IJMP focuses on the pragmatics of informing management action and practice. This requires translating existing theories into forms that are relevant, digestible and amenable to practical action as well as developing new insights by developing and examining leading edge managerial practices to enhance organisational performance.

This journal flagship is the applicability academic research on project, program and portfolio management field. The focus of articles for the JMPM should be on the managerial situation or the theory being studied rather than the solution techniques being developed or used. Highest priority is thus given to studies that are anchored in the real world and build, extend or test generalizable theories or frameworks of managerial significance. Most often such studies result from either identifying an actual, new managerial situation for which existing theory is inadequate - thereby resulting in an addition to theory - or else testing multiple existing theories against actual managerial situations to determine their relevance - thereby enhancing theory through subtraction.
