Today, as never before, firms are realising they must work to effectively manage the domestic and international supply of products and services into, through, and out of their firms to customers. Ultimately, effectively integrated supply management results in lower costs, higher quality, better customer service, and higher profits for the organisation, its suppliers and its distributors. The IJISM aims to attract and publish empirical and theoretical papers from all disciplines regarding supply integration issues throughout the firm and its domestic and international supply chain partners. No other journal today offers such a wide forum as this where integration issues across the supply chain are discussed and disseminated.
Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently
under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may only be submitted if the paper has been completely re-written and the author has cleared any necessary permissions with the copyright owner if it has been previously copyrighted). All authors must declare they have read and agreed to the content of the submitted manuscript. A full statement of our Ethical Guidelines for Authors is available.
All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors,
sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are
available on the Author Guidelines
web-page.
