Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

JIBED addresses the advancement of contemporary research in the field of international business and international entrepreneurship. JIBED is an internationally-competitive, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the advancement of practice and theory of international business, international entrepreneurship and international franchising 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 new dialogue between them with the goal of resolving conflicts, promoting world peace and harmonising relations. As a result, JIBED wishes to act as a global platform for the pursuance of dialogue between different countries at dissimilar stages of international development, entrepreneurship development, and franchising development.

JIBED aims to inspire the full range of scholars 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 host countries and between western institutions and host communities and firms, challenges being confronted by firms emanating from developing countries and penetrating other developing countries and by new scholars from newly emerging countries as reflected by the accreditation of business programs across the world by AACSB–International.

Appropriate topics for manuscripts include challenges being encountered by international entrepreneurs in newly emerging countries, international entrepreneurs 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 of entrepreneurship across Asian, African, East European, Middle Eastern, and South American countries. Collaborative manuscripts between scholars and entrepreneurs, between western and non-western scholars, and between scholars and professionals are particularly encouraged.

JIBED invites and welcomes research papers encompassing different areas of international business studies, such as marketing, management, organisational behaviour, finance, accounting, MIS, economics, and different dimensions of international entrepreneurship, such as venture capital formation, franchising, small business management, family business management, and technopreneurship. JIBED particularly welcomes research papers that transcend single countries and single disciplines. JIBED also has a special interest in research emanating from business schools accredited by the AACSB across the world.
