About Journal

The International Journal of Business and Management (IJBM) is an international, double-anonymized, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Canadian Center of Science and Education (CCSE). The journal appears six times a year, in February, April, June, August, October, and December. It serves a worldwide readership of scholars, researchers, educators, business practitioners, managers, consultants, and policy-makers across the journal's scope, from strategic management and organizational behaviour to marketing, finance, operations, and sustainability.


Focus and Scope

IJBM is an international journal publishing original scholarship on problems, phenomena, and decisions in business and management, spanning strategic management and corporate governance; organizational behaviour and leadership; human resource management and organizational development; marketing and consumer behaviour; entrepreneurship, innovation, and small business management; international business and cross-cultural management; operations, supply chain, and service management; financial management and accounting; digital transformation, e-business, and emerging technologies in management; and sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods designs are judged by their fit with the research question and the transparency of evidence.

The journal welcomes research from all geographic contexts; cross-national, cross-cultural, and comparative research is particularly encouraged, as are studies from emerging, developing, and transition economies. Single-country studies should articulate what their findings contribute beyond the immediate setting. Submissions from adjacent disciplines must deliver a clear business or management contribution — pure economics, environmental science, public administration, sports science, and purely technical studies without a management focus are outside scope. IJBM considers empirical research articles, conceptual papers, systematic reviews, and case studies.
