Launching the journal on Policy and Management Research.

In the context of the increasingly strong regional and global trends, the development of each nation cannot rely solely on natural resources and geographical location, but must also stem from sound policies and strategic development orientations. The development of each country also depends on the vision, mindset, and management capabilities of its leaders and administrators, its high-quality human resources, skilled experts, and the level of its science and technology, etc.

Throughout human history, management practices have emerged early on. Along with the development of social organizations and the state, the need for organization and management has become an essential issue. Over time, management has become the subject of study for many scientific disciplines, most notably and directly in the fields of...Management science, Policy science.

Management and policy have a close, organic relationship. Policy can be considered a tool for implementing management activities, or in other words, policy is an effective means of management. On the other hand, managers achieve their goals through policies and by planning and enacting policies to achieve their stated objectives.

The requirement is that policy planning and implementation must be linked to reality, while simultaneously building trust, providing direction, breaking down barriers, and creating strong momentum for development.
