Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

Environmental dynamism is a widely-explored construct in the organisation theory and strategic management literature. This construct has a growing importance according to the degree of instability or turbulence of such key operating concerns as market and industry conditions as well as more general technological, economic, social, and political forces. The ability of an organisation to adapt to changing environmental circumstances is a key to organisational survival while effectiveness of the adaptive response is dependent on aligning the response to the environmental circumstances faced by the organisation. It is clearly important for any business to be able to respond positively to such interest.

The IJBE fosters research on how firms behave under different types of environment and aims to examine the external influences on business organisations. This journal examines a wide variety of business decisions, processes and activities within the business environment.

Objectives

IJBE addresses managerial issues in the social, political, economic, competitive, and technological environments of business. The objectives of research are:

the relationship between environment and organisational processes, business practices, strategic posture, and organisational performance;
some strategic patterns and corresponding environmental settings among a broadly defined cross-section of business;
the alignment of the environmental change, strategic adaptive response, and the profile of the managers selected to implement the strategic adaptive response.

Readership

Academics and researchers; management consultants and professionals concerned with business environment; chief executive officers, managing directors, managers and practitioners in all kinds of businesses.
