Aims & Scope

The Journal of Business Economics (JBE) aims at encouraging theoretical research and its applications in the field of business economics and business administration, promoting the exchange of ideas between science and practice. In addition to original theoretical and empirical work, excellent state of the art and conceptual contributions will also be considered. The Journal of Business Economics was founded by renowned professors of business economics in 1924 in Germany under the name Zeitschrift für Betriebswirtschaft (ZfB) and has since established itself as the leading academic journal for decision-oriented business and management. The double-blind refereed journal is edited by 11 Department Editors, supported by an international Editorial Board. Officially cited as: J Bus Econ
