• JIBP intends to serve as the principal outlet for theoretical and

empirical research in all areas of public policy that relate to international business.

• IB scholars offer a systematic approach for assessing firm

internationalization, yet IB insights seldom make inroads with policymakers (Buckley et al., JIBS, 2017; Van Assche, JIBP, 2018).

• Main reason for this is that IB and public policy differ in their frame of

reference (private vs. public) and unit of analysis (firm vs. country).

• JIBP aim to alleviate this mismatch by strengthening:
• IB scholars’ interest in working on public policy issues;
• policymakers’ interest in considering IB work.

JIBP Aims & Scope

• JIBP will publish articles on (1) current public policy subjects and

(2) impactful conceptual or empirical studies that have public policy implications.

• Articles should be scholarly, practice-oriented, and well-

documented, and they should meet generally accepted standards for conceptual and analytical rigor appropriate for a premier academic journal.

• JIBP welcomes topical articles, but such contributions should be

clearly distinct from journalism or consultancy reports.

• JIBP will seek inclusion in the Social Sciences Citation Index

(SSCI) as soon as possible, and will consider the appropriate time to seek other rankings, such as the ABS list.

JIBP: Policy-oriented and relevant

What is IB policy?

International business promotion Foreign business attraction Industrial policy Social and development policy Transnational governance

Policies to promote and facilitate the integration of local firms and workers into the global economy through exports and

• utward FDI.

Policies to attract/screen inward FDI, policies on immigration and

• penness to

imports. Policies to encourage the development and growth of sectors of the local economy with a focus on how such policies interact with trade and investment. Policies to protect and promote marginalized stakeholders with a focus on how such policies interact with trade and investment. Bilateral, plurilateral and multilateral agreements to regulate complex global problems and interdependen cies that have an impact on IB.

JIBS and JIBP

• The primary audiences for JIBP are academic scholars interested

in issues at the IB-policy interface, public policy decision makers at all levels of government, and officials in international and supranational organizations faced with public policy concerns. These reader targets are quite diverse, and differ from the target audience of JIBS, which is mainly academic and oriented towards managers as practitioners.

• Both JIBS and JIBP seek empirical contributions that address

IB-related issues and exhibit a high level of scholarly (empirical) rigor. However, for JIBS, theory development in IB is

• f central importance, while the articles in JIBP should aim to

develop credible and grounded policy options instead.

Expected JIBS – JIBP interactions (1)

• Papers that were submitted to JIBS but do not appear to have an
• ptimal fit with the journal’s mission, mainly because of their

public policy or macro-institutional focus, rather than a micro- level focus, will see their authors being encouraged by the JIBS Editors to resubmit to JIBP.

• The presence of a sister journal will allow JIBS to establish a

sharper focus on articles that have implications mainly for firms, rather than for countries or for institutions representing the macro-level.

• The presence of JIBP will have implications for the selection of

JIBS ‘Special Issue’ and ‘Review Paper’ topics, and there will also be suggestions made to authors of proposals viewed as having a lesser fit with JIBS to resubmit these proposals to JIBP.

Expected JIBS – JIBP interactions (2)

• It is expected that JIBS and JIBP will be present together at

initiatives such as AIB PDWs and Meet the Editors panels.

• JIBS and JIBP will consider undertaking joint initiatives, with

specific IB phenomena analyzed through both micro-level and public policy lenses, and with the resulting articles published in the respective journals.

• The JIBS – JIBP co-evolution will strengthen further the AIB as

the main scholarly society in the world that is focused solely on IB-related subject matter (cf. strategy of SMS).

• JIBP will also strengthen further the ecosystem of IB journals, as

another credible, scholarly outlet for the best work on IB policy, and this will hopefully increase the supply of policy oriented work easily accessible to the AIB membership.
