The International Journal of Innovation Studies (IJIS) is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that seeks to advance theoretical and practical knowledge on innovation.The Nature of Innovation Innovation is imperative in today's academic research, but in nature, it defies linear analysis and traditional management methods. What are the characteristics of organizations that stimulate successful innovation? How can managers create an environment in which innovation thrives? How do political leaders and decision makers differentiate between sinkholes and fertile ground when allocating resources for creative work? How can business harness this illogical, unpredictable force that can be as frustrating as it is valuable?Interdisciplinary Insight on Innovation During its emerging era, the field of innovation studies was populated by "immigrants" from other disciplines. It thus became intrinsically interdisciplinary in nature - an intellectual "melting pot" characterized by diversity and an eclectic borrowing of cognitive resources from others. In the IJIS, we invite interdisciplinary researchers from economics, sociology, management studies, and psychology to put forth their insights on innovations, so as to promote the incorporation of a broad and heterogeneous mix of research activities, as well as a fruitful intercourse with social scientists from different disciplines and fields.The Future of Innovation Studies In the past, we have witnessed how innovation changes the world: an earth flattened by the internet and upheavals in the music industry, reading habits, and social networking by innovative companies such as Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook. Yet, innovation studies as a discipline have largely failed to develop new research methods for understanding innovations of the 21st century. Thus, how can scholars in innovation studies follow up on future technology and its impacts? In this new era, governments may also need to adopt a more entrepreneurial approach towards innovation policy; hence, researchers in innovation studies must provide a better understanding of the interaction between policy-making and innovation activities. The IJIS invites scholars to look forward and discuss future directions of innovation studies.Main Subjects Covered: The Brain and InnovationCorporate Innovation SystemCreating InnovatorsEconomics of InnovationEntrepreneurship and InnovationEvolutionary or Schumpeterian EconomicsHistory of InnovationIncentives of Innovative PeopleInnovation and DevelopmentInnovation and Organizational ChangeInnovation and SustainabilityInnovation PolicyKnowledge Management and InnovationManagement of InnovationManaging Open InnovationMicro Foundations of InnovationNational Innovation SystemPhilosophy of InnovationProject Management of InnovationPsychology of InnovationR&D and InnovationRegional Innovation SystemSectoral Innovation SystemStrategic Management and InnovationTotal Innovation ManagementUser InnovationEditorial Board

Journal of Business Venturing Insights

  • ISSN: 2352-6734
Journal of Business Venturing Insights (JBV Insights) publishes thought-provoking research, highlighting novel ideas at the forefront of current discussions of entrepreneurial phenomena. Such ideas are extremely valuable as they can stimulate further necessary research.JBV Insights offers a platform for multiple disciplinary works and unconventional and silent scholarly voices. The journal is open to different disciplines and perspectives and thus welcomes papers that bring into entrepreneurship research ideas from within and beyond management scholarship, including the broader social and natural sciences. JBV Insights is also open to innovative methods and forms of theorizing. Through many of its initiatives, JBV Insights additionally aims to enhance the conversation among scholars and practitioners by offering a forum to disseminate novel and relevant entrepreneurship research rapidly.JBV Insights' review process balances speed and rigor to ensure that novel ideas and robust studies are promptly available to the public. We aim to have manuscripts with the journal for no longer than three months (from submission to online publication [or rejection]). Manuscripts will be concise and widely available online via ScienceDirect. Articles should not exceed 12 double spaced pages of text in 12 font, excluding references, tables and figures. Reference lists, tables, and figures should be on separate sheet.JBV Insights welcomes three types of submissions.Regular submissions: JBV Insights continuously welcomes submissions that align with its mission, offering innovative research and inspiring concepts geared toward the interests of entrepreneurship researchers. The journal is open to a variety of research approaches. Empirical submissions are greatly appreciated, and these could include elements such as unusual findings, atheoretical descriptions, non-findings, or the replication of established relationships. Furthermore, JBV Insights also welcomes single experiments that offer innovative perspectives. The journal also encourages theoretical submissions that stimulate thought and discussion through interesting examples or insightful juxtapositions. Other regular submissions might include simulations of entrepreneurial phenomena, papers developing measurement scales, and other methodological advances. Above all, JBV Insights aims to be as open as possible to different research approaches as long as they align with its mission to publish thought-provoking research.Translational research: Translational research refers to distinct research activities where critical insights are passed between research modes so that discoveries made in basic social science can lead to improvements in entrepreneurial practice, communities and policy. Translational research in JBVI will thus translate descriptive propositional statements of facts and relationships that comprise theoretical knowledge into normative relationships between means and ends that provide actionable guides for practice. Translational research submission can include problematization, rapid response research, prospective inquiry, design science, participatory research, evidence reviews, among others. For more information about the Translational Research section, please take a look at the A translational framework for entrepreneurship research article, the design science initiative, the ER3 initiative and the Entrepreneurial problems and scholarly impact special issue.Meaningful heterodoxies: This section aims to enhance scholarly conversations surrounding practices and processes in entrepreneurship that characteristically cut against the grain of conventional wisdom or majority opinion. This section offers a forum for the publication of cutting-edge scholarship related to nonconformist and dissenting experiences, circumstances, beliefs, taboos, cultures, and subcultures that entrepreneurs are immersed within that influence entrepreneurship. Note: For more information about the Meaningful Heterodoxies section, please take a look at the call for papers and the Editorial: "Meaningful Heterodoxies: Advancing Entrepreneurship Research Through Engagement with Unorthodox Customs, Beliefs, Cultural Dynamics, and Phenomena"Section editors: Robert Pidduck and Reg Tucker.

Journal of Co-operative Organization and Management

  • ISSN: 2213-297X
  • 5 Year impact factor: 2.6
  • Impact factor: 2.2
The Journal of Co-operative Organization and Management (JCOM) is committed to be the leading international journal for the study of cooperation-based economic organizations and institutions. The journal provides the primary forum for the advancement and dissemination of scientific knowledge on organizing, managing and governing cooperation-based arrangements. It deals with questions on how, why and when the cooperation-based economic organizations and institutions are formed, operate and succeed, fail and disappear, and what can be done to influence the outcome. The journal will include topical, high-quality, and original contributions - research papers, reviews, and syntheses as well as book and conference reviews, and more practical oriented discussion and short communication papers. The overarching perspective of the JCOM is the different ways and means to manage, govern, and organize economic cooperation. Cooperation-based economic organizations, institutions, and arrangements are defined broadly and include, for example:• alliances, franchising, joint-ventures, family-owned enterprises, public-private partnerships etc. • co-operatives, mutual insurers, credit unions, etc. • associations, clubs, guilds, etc. • networks, ecosystems, peer economy, open innovation, inter-organizational cooperation, collaborative governance etc. • cooperation enabling technologies/models/ideas such as blockchains, platforms, metaverse etc.Finally, we encourage research (while NOT limiting our scope) that focuses on the potential and utility of the cooperation-based models in tackling the grand challenges of our time. These include global issues such as sustainable development regarding climate adjustment, social inclusion, ethical digitalization or fair platform economy.The journal facilitates theory elaboration on the topic of cooperation-based organizations and has a multi-/interdisciplinary tradition stemming from business economics, economics, legal studies, and administrative science in particular. JCOM will therefore encourage contributions that make rigorous use of a variety of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. The journal will also welcome critical disciplinary discourse. JCOM strives to attract and engage an international scholarly readership. University libraries and individual academics are the primary target groups. However, given the scarcity of rigorous and well marketed journals with similar foci, the JCOM also seeks to attract professional audiences. This is important given that the ultimate test for theoretical contributions is the application of the new knowledge in the practices of organizations and in the praxis of individuals.
