Journal of Business, Management and Innovation

Journal overview

Journal of Business, Management and Innovation is a journal in the EJSIR Publisher programme, focused on Business, Management and Innovation. Its scope is organized into academic sections covering Innovation Management, Operations Management, Strategy, Entrepreneurship, Technology Management, Supply Chain Management, Digital Transformation, Organizational Analytics, Project Management and Sustainable Business. This structure helps authors assess disciplinary fit and gives readers a clear route through the journal’s subject coverage.

The journal welcomes original research article, review article, systematic review, short communication and other contributions described in its author guidance when they fit the scope. Appropriate approaches include theory development, case studies, surveys, interviews, experiments, archival data, quantitative analysis and mixed methods. Authors should explain case or sample selection, instruments, data handling and analytical choices, and consider context, bias and limitations. Authors should engage relevant scholarship, explain the contribution and report limitations needed for critical assessment.

Editorial assessment considers journal fit, methodological or interpretive quality, research integrity and clarity. The stated review model is double-anonymous peer review, normally with at least two independent reviewers. Publisher policies on ethics, access, authorship, conflicts, data and corrections apply alongside this journal’s scope. Submission information is provided on this site; manuscripts can be submitted only after the journal’s submission route opens.

Academic remit

The journal aims to publish research that advances understanding of organizations, management, markets and innovation. It welcomes theoretical, empirical and methodological contributions with clear relevance to business practice, organizational analysis or the scholarly understanding of economic activity. The central contribution should fit at least one of the journal’s academic sections and be meaningful to readers in business, management and innovation.

Appropriate approaches include theory development, case studies, surveys, interviews, experiments, archival data, quantitative analysis and mixed methods. Authors should explain case or sample selection, instruments, data handling and analytical choices, and consider context, bias and limitations. Authors should define the research question, connect the approach to the question, describe sources or materials and analytical choices, and provide enough information for critical assessment. Interdisciplinary work is welcome when its relevance to the journal is clear and the methods used for each component are explained.

Interpretations and claims should follow from the reported evidence. Authors should identify uncertainty, limitations and alternative explanations where relevant, and distinguish demonstrated results from implications or future work. Studies involving people, animals, sensitive data or protected material should describe applicable ethics, consent, privacy and permissions.

Business recommendations unsupported by evidence, descriptive company accounts without analysis, and general claims based on an unexamined single context fall outside scope. Manuscripts outside the listed sections or lacking an assessable scholarly contribution may be declined at editorial screening.
