Vol. 2 No. 3 (2025): Accountable Interdisciplinarity Across Boundaries: Tax Justice, Academic Mobility, AI, and Sport Services

This issue advances accountable interdisciplinarity as an editorial and scholarly program: not only combining lenses, but widening the epistemic community from which management theory is built and designing publication infrastructures that make rigorous integration and genuine inclusion more likely. Across four contributions, the issue foregrounds boundary work: the mechanisms, objects, and governance arrangements that allow ideas, practices, and responsibilities to travel across institutional, professional, and societal divides without losing rigor.

Uddin’s empirical study shows how taxpayers’ lived encounters with tax administration and core public services shape perceived fairness and acceptance of taxation, documenting concrete “hassles” and their implications for tax justice and morale in a lower-middle-income context. Bonaglia and Rokpelnis reframe EURAXESS China and the Galileo Galilei Italian Institute as boundary organizations that translate shifting EU–China cooperation conditions into workable institutional routines and individual career pathways, offering actionable design logic for university leaders and research managers under de-risking and research-security pressures. Nguyen analyzes how AI is reconfiguring legal work toward “augmented lawyering,” emphasizing human–machine collaboration grounded in professional values, ethics, and organizational adaptation inside law firms. The issue closes with Oboudi’s review of Glebova’s Services in Sport Management, highlighting a structured bridge from foundational service theories to applied sport domains while calling for broader empirical and non-Western extensions.
