LAUNCHING THE ASIAN JOURNAL

OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES

The Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) of the Sabaragamuwa University
of Sri Lanka recently launched the Faculty Journal named Asian Journal of
Management Studies (AJMS). As an "A" graded faculty in the Sri Lankan

state university system, FMS always attempts to be a knowledge hub for the
nation by connecting to a broader network. AJMS, a double-blind peer-
reviewed scholarly journal in business and management, reflects the FMS’s
attempt to benchmark the faculty's contribution to the growth of the body of

knowledge in business and management. AJMS aims to promote and provide
convenient access to publish and disseminate research works in business
and management in the local, regional and global arena.

The ceremonial launch was held at the Auditorium of the Staff Development
Center, the Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, where Professor Udaya
Rathnayake, Vice-Chancellor, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka,
attended as the Chief Guest. Prof. Saman K. Herath (Dean, Faculty of

Animal Science and Export Agriculture, Uva Wellassa University of Sri
Lanka) and Mr. Manil Jayesinghe (President, The Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Sri Lanka) attended the ceremony as the Keynote Speaker
and Guest of Honour. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the physical

gathering was limited to very few dignitaries, including the Heads of the
Departments of FMS. Academic, non-academic, and administrative staff
members and the students joined the session via online platforms, including
Zoom and Facebook Live.
