Our mission statement

© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020

Abstract This journal’s guiding philosophy is to provide an editorially rigorous forum for the publication of research that enriches our collective understanding of academic thinking in economics, finance, business and management studies. Keywords  Business · Economics · Finance · Management Economics and business relate to every aspect of our lives, from the choices and decisions we make as individuals or communities, to those enacted by governments, central banks, firms and other actors. As such, the insights gained from business, economic and financial analyses play a crucial role in helping us to manage resources and to react to the threats and opportunities that emerge when circumstances change. This journal is inclusive in scope, recognising that research arising in the fields of economics, finance and business studies intersect with a wide array of allied fields, including, but not restricted to, education, environment and sustainability, corporate governance, IT in business, risk management, law, public administration, politics, public health, regional development, entrepreneurship, human resources and communication studies.

encourage the submission of interdisciplinary scholarship that combines theory, methods or analytical frameworks from two or more areas of study. Article collections dedicated to topical and pressing areas of debate will be a regular feature in this journal. These collections will provide rich repositories for fresh thinking, and will cover research themes that may not find a natural home in more narrowly defined or niche journals. Our flexible publishing model means that these collections will have space to grow and evolve over extended periods of time.

Editorial standards As an ‘SN-prefixed’ publication, this journal draws on the expertise and best practice from across all the imprints within the broad Springer Nature family. This includes a strong commitment to upholding high standards founded on robust editorial policies, underpinned by an efficient and fair peer review process. We are committed to promoting tran
