About the Journal

Archives of Business Research (ABR) provides a platform for researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers to communicate research that advances understanding of organisations, markets, industries, institutions, and economic activity.

ABR welcomes rigorous empirical, theoretical, conceptual, methodological, and practice-informed research. The journal is particularly interested in work that connects sound scholarship with contemporary organisational, commercial, economic, and public-policy challenges.

Aims & Scope

Archives of Business Research aims to advance knowledge across business, management, economics, and commerce by publishing original, methodologically sound, and clearly presented research. The journal supports theoretical development, empirical investigation, methodological innovation, and evidence-informed professional practice. ABR welcomes research from all countries and regions and encourages studies that examine established and emerging economies, compare institutional settings, or provide evidence from contexts that are underrepresented in international scholarship.
