The aim of JGBA is the advancement of contemporary research in the field of global business from the standpoint of both western and emerging countries vigorously participating in the globalised world. JGBA is an international refereed journal dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of global business with an emphasis on developing countries attempting to assert themselves on the global stage.
Firms, institutions, governments, organisations, agencies, and individuals are participating in the globalisation of world economy through a variety of forms, shapes, and styles, necessitating the initiation of an innovative dialogue between them with the goal of resolving conflicts, promoting world peace and harmonising relations. JGBA wishes to act as a global platform for the pursuance of dialogue between different countries at dissimilar stages of economic development.
JGBA aims to inspire both new and expert researchers to submit their empirical, conceptual and applied papers and case studies for publication. Preference will be given to papers examining conflicts between western firms and developing countries’ institutions, communities and firms, papers examining struggles confronted by new multinational firms emanating from developing countries and new scholars from emerging countries, as reflected by the accreditation of business programs across the world by the AACSB–International.
Appropriate topics for manuscripts include challenges being encountered by western firms in newly emerging countries, firms from developing countries trying to penetrate world markets and attempting to build their own brands, non-western scholars attempting to examine the applicability of western models in eastern, socialist and southern hemisphere countries. Collaborative manuscripts between scholars and entrepreneurs, between western and non-western scholars, and between scholars and professionals, are particularly favoured.
JGBA invites and welcomes research papers encompassing all areas of global business studies, such as marketing, management, organisational behaviour, finance, accounting, MIS, economics, and cultural anthropology. JGBA also welcomes research papers that transcend single countries, and single discipline. Accordingly, it has a special interest in the publication of multidisciplinary and multinational research emanating from innovative scholars and business schools accredited by the AACSB around the world.
