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 re-
view, be properly documented, with citations 
from research-based works rather than popular 
press or web sites. Since JSBS is an applied re-
search journal, each article should include a sub-
stantial “Discussion 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 the-
oretical orientation. Case studies are acceptable if 
they contribute substantial to the understanding of 
small business strategy and include a significant-
ly to the understanding of small business strategy 
and include a significant literature review that un-
derscores 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 export-
ing or other international issues are acceptable. 
We have less interest in articles focusing on how 
small business compete in specific countries un-
less authors show that their results can be gener-
alized to all small businesses. Articles that have a 
public policy focus are generally not appropriate 
for the Journal of Small Business Strategy.
