Aims and Scope

The International Journal of Applied Business and International Management (IJABIM) publishes research that advances knowledge and practice in business and management. The journal provides a forum for theoretically informed and methodologically rigorous studies addressing contemporary issues affecting organizations, managers, markets, and business environments.

Consistent with its applied and international orientation, IJABIM welcomes research that connects scholarly inquiry with relevant organizational and managerial problems across different institutional, economic, technological, and cultural settings. Empirical, conceptual, comparative, and interdisciplinary contributions are considered where they offer a clear contribution to business or management knowledge.

The journal's areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• International business and international management
• Strategic management and organizational strategy
• Marketing and consumer behavior
• Entrepreneurship, small and medium-sized enterprises, and business innovation
• Human resource management and organizational behavior
• Finance, accounting, and corporate governance
• Business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability
• Digital business, information systems, and technology management
• Operations, supply chain, and service management
• Organizational change and development
• Cross-cultural and comparative management
• Business and management in emerging-market contexts

IJABIM welcomes studies conducted in individual countries as well as comparative and international research. Country-specific studies should demonstrate how the institutional, market, organizational, or cultural context contributes to broader understanding of a business or management problem.

Interdisciplinary and sector-specific research is also welcome when the principal research question and scholarly contribution are clearly situated within business or management. Studies may therefore examine organizations operating in private, public, nonprofit, or other institutional settings where the management dimension is central to the research.

Through this scope, IJABIM seeks to support scholarly exchange that strengthens understanding of contemporary business and management while remaining relevant to organizational and managerial practice.
