Focus and Scope

International Research Journal of Business Studies (IRJBS) is comprised of three constructs. The word “International” refers to our mission to provide readers with relevant fields of studies and to involve authors in giving their contributions on an international scale. ”Research Journal” refers to our aim to function as a medium to disseminate research findings regardless of methodological differences. ”Business Studies” refers to the boundary of the fields of studies that we serve i.e. encompassing all disciplines and paradigms related to the studies of any facet of the business. Aim The primary objective of IRJBS is to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the area of business studies by presenting results of an empirical study, include rigorous research methods, and provide managerial implications to the readers.
