Aims and scope

The journal encourages research on advances in management and business practices, aimed at helping firms and other organizations enhance their international competitiveness.
International competitiveness relates to providing context, concepts, strategy and execution to help firms become more conscientious, ethical, sustainable and flexible, while enhancing value creation and competing systematically towards higher stages of maturity internationally.
The journal makes meaningful contributions to the spheres of practice, knowledge and education, so as to make groups, firms, cities and clusters more productive and sustainable. It intends to evolve sustainable competitiveness paradigms by innovating on the use of frameworks such as the competitiveness Assets-Processes-Performance (APP) framework. Professionals can use the framework in diverse contexts to enhance capabilities on relevant factors and linkages among specific functions and across levels.
We are open to original research articles based on empirical studies and other types such as: impactful innovations, methodologies and models, collaborative enquires to evolve paradigms, reviews and scenarios, comparative cases, experiential insights, practitioner perspectives, application of tools and techniques, and conceptual frameworks. The articles may cover one or many of the following issues: contexts and dilemma of competitiveness, international management, technovation and sustainability.  The articles may also cover emerging approaches, enablers and practices facilitating competitiveness.
Topics covered in this journal are as follows: business competitiveness, international business, strategies of emerging multinational enterprises (EMNEs) and activities (e.g., digital entrepreneurship, competition, sustainability practices), cooperative strategies (e.g., strategic alliances, joint-ventures, consortia, licensing), digital innovation, internationalization, technology management, business excellence, environmental and enterprise sustainability, flexibility linkages, strategic leadership, SMEs and corporate governance.
