Overview
The SPJIMR Paper Series is an institutional publication platform of the S. P. Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR), created to disseminate high-quality research, policy analysis, and implementation-oriented work produced by the institute’s faculty and research collaborators.
The series provides a formal, citable home for analytical work that engages directly with real-world economic, managerial, technological, and public-policy challenges. It is designed to support the timely dissemination of ideas, evidence, and frameworks that inform decision-making in government, industry, and academia.
Research today increasingly shapes public discourse and policy well before it appears in traditional academic journals. An institutional paper series provides a platform for rigorous analysis, establishing intellectual leadership, and contributing constructively to contemporary debates. The SPJIMR Paper Series follows this global best practice, reflecting SPJIMR’s commitment to applied research, policy relevance, and thought leadership.
Papers in the series may include early-stage research drafts, policy notes, white papers, sectoral studies, and data-driven reports. Together, they represent SPJIMR’s contribution to advancing understanding across management, finance, economics, technology, governance, and related fields.
