Editors-in-ChiEf

The Journal of Small Business Strategy is an 
applied research journal. Manuscripts should be 
written with the small business/entrepreneurship 
educator, small business consultant in mind. Both 
conceptual and empirically-based papers are en-
couraged, but they must have an applied focus. All 
papers must have a significant literature review, 
be properly documented, with citations from re-
search-based works rather than popular press or 
web sites. Since JSBS is an applied research jour-
nal, each article should include a substantial “Dis-
cussion and Implications” section that details how 
the research findings are relevant for the journal’s 
readers. Authors are discouraged from submitting 
manuscripts with extremely complex statistical 
analyses and/or a purely theoretical orientation. 
Case studies are acceptable if they contribute 
substantial to the understanding of small business 
strategy and include a significantly to the under-
standing of small business strategy and include a 
significant literature review that underscores the 
issues in the case. We do not accept teaching or 
pedagogical cases.

Articles that have a significant strategy orien-
tation are of particular interest. However, we do 
also publish articles that may address functional 
or operational issues. Articles related to exporting 
or other international issues are acceptable. We 
have less interest in articles focusing on how small 
business compete in specific countries unless au-
thors show that their results can be generalized 
to all small businesses. Articles that have a public 
policy focus are generally not appropriate for the 
Journal of Small Business Strategy.
