Your Opportunity To Publish In The Value Creation Journal

Submit your manuscript for the Value Creation Journal Inaugural Issue

We are excited to announce the call for manuscripts and for you to be part of the inaugural issue, Volume 1, Issue 1, of the Value Creation Journal. If you have a passion for improving value to customers, then this journal will be an ideal platform for you to share your insights, experiences and advice. Publish and be part of the solution to reach the leaders and practitioners of companies and organizations around the world.

Details for Submitting your Abstract

The journal will publish relevant customer value creation articles from all functional areas of business management, and perspective articles on evolving trends, insights and philosophies in creating customer value. Published articles will undergo a double blind peer review process and pass two fundamental criteria— relevance to the journal’s theme while creating management awareness to the fundamental change required to achieve creating value. We will also publish feature articles with opinions, fresh new perspectives and ideas, interviews, case studies, and stories that demonstrate where value creation is central to management strategies.

The Value Creation Journal has developed its vision to inspire executives and business leaders to generate increased value for employees and customers, thus driving success for the organization and its stakeholders. We aim to support executives in understanding and implementing Customer Value strategies, recognizing it as a vital component of long term success and profitability.

We strongly encourage you to publish your research, case studies and other Value Creation materials through our journal so that together we may convince managers and business leaders to obsess and "lose sleep" over customer data just as they do over financial data. Share your passion and experiences with global readers.

"How To Implement VC" and "Why VC"

Articles should also address success stories covering how Value Creation was accomplished. Business leaders rely on people within the organization to make their vision happen. Consider authoring articles to help readers succeed at their job and mission.
