About Journal

The International Journal of Business and Management (IJBM) is an international, double-anonymized, open-access journal published by the Canadian Center of Science and Education (CCSE) since 2006. IJBM publishes rigorous, decision-relevant scholarship across the breadth of business and management — from strategy, governance, and entrepreneurship to digital transformation, marketing, and corporate sustainability — serving a global readership of researchers, educators, practitioners, and policy-makers.

We welcome theory-driven empirical studies as well as carefully argued conceptual and review contributions. Methodological plurality is a feature, not a constraint: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods designs are all given equal consideration. Alongside original research, we also publish systematic reviews, case studies, and proposals for special issues on themes of contemporary significance.

Focus and Scope

IJBM publishes original research that addresses a substantive management problem, phenomenon, or decision. We welcome studies anchored in sound theory and robust empirical evidence, alongside well-argued conceptual and review contributions that reframe how we understand organizations and the people who comprise them. IJBM embraces methodological plurality: quantitative and qualitative work, mixed-methods designs, and rigorous conceptual or systematic-review articles are equally valued.

• Strategic management and competitive advantage
• Corporate governance and board leadership
• Organizational design, change, and development
