Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

IJBIR is a fully refereed journal, covering the new developments in theory and applications of business and entrepreneurship innovation strategies, methods and tools to enhance organisational competitiveness. Business innovation significantly contributes to the improvement in enterprise productivity and quality. Innovation and research are integral components of business strategy and success. Designing and developing suitable strategies, techniques, tools and models for business innovation and research have become an essential function of researchers and practitioners in a global economy; new strategies, techniques and tools for innovation and research in business will be the main focus of IJBIR.

Companies constantly look for innovative processes and methods to gain a competitive advantage. Unfortunately, the assets and ideas in organisations are not fully utilised to improve the value of the organisation. Organising a process to take advantage of information technology and systems for business innovation should be part of every organisation. One of the largest unrealised opportunities in organisations today is fully leveraging ideas and knowledge to transform business processes into continuing innovation. IJBIR will act as a platform to encourage further research in business innovation and research.

Global market and operations force companies to rethink their business innovation and research activities and in turn their overall organisational competitiveness. In order to be successful in this global market, organisations should dedicate themselves for effective business innovation and research in a timely and collaborative manner. Towards this end, companies have undergone changes over the years in terms of implementing new business research and innovation strategies, methods and technologies. To provide world-class customer service, advanced business innovation and research management techniques supported by management commitment and good organisational infrastructure, will provide objective means of improving organisational competitiveness. This compels the researchers and practitioners to look at various business innovation and research issues from the perspective of needs, issues and enablers.

Objectives
