JBR Special Issue on Cross-Cultural Research in Business

The Journal of Business Research (JBR) announces a call for papers with the intention of publishing a special issue concerning cross-cultural issues in business.  Both empirical and theoretical papers are welcome.  Papers must focus on cultural issues.  Papers that compare two or more cultures will be given preference over those dealing with one culture.  In addition, papers dealing with cross-national cultural issues will generally be given preference over those dealing with intra-national issues.   Topics may come from any area of business, including, but not limited to:

  • All aspects of cross-cultural consumer behavior.
  • Comparative marketing studies (e.g., advertising strategies, organizational buyer behavior, services).
  • Comparative management practices (e.g., industrial relations, human resource management, organizational behavior)
  • Comparative business studies (e.g., international accounting, finance, law and business communications)
  • Research methods for conducting cross-cultural research.

This open call for papers is directed to all interested authors and follows the biennial Cross-Cultural Research Conference that was held in Dorado, Puerto Rico from Dec. 11-14, 2005.  Submissions are NOT restricted to participants of the Cross-Cultural Research Conference. 

Special Issue Eligible papers should take into consideration the unique positioning statement and intended audience of JBR.  Manuscripts to be considered for this special issue should be submitted no later than June 1, 2006. The process to be followed in reviewing these manuscripts will be similar to that used for previous JBR special issues, including the use of several guest Editors and a specialist review panel. JBR aims to have the special issue published in 2007.

Submission Manuscripts should be submitted in electronic format according to the submission guidelines given on the Journal’s web site:
