About Journal

The Journal of World Business publishes manuscripts that are broad in scope, but demonstrate keen insights into problems facing the professional practitioner as well as academician. With specifically designated editorial review boards to recognize the importance of contributions from the Pacific Rim and Europe, the structure of the editorial team has a keen understanding of problems facing the global manager in four areas: human resource management, leadership, marketing, and strategic management. Journal of World Business seeks to publish manuscripts in the domains of international business strategy, human resource management, and marketing. Manuscripts should have relevant and concise theoretical foundations. They also need to translate their findings to professional practitioners seeking to improve their practice of management.

General Guidelines for Authors

All contributions are to be a maximum of 32 pages in length, double spaced, 1.5 inch margins, and 12-point type font. This page limitation excludes references, figures, and tables. The author should include a major heading entitled "Managerial Relevance" under which the author should clearly indicate how the results will impact the practice of management.

Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.

• Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.

• Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a "Present address" (or "Permanent address") may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.

A 100-word abstract should be the second page along with 5 or 6 keywords.
