Focus and Scope

INCOME: Innovation of Economics and Management provides a forum for research that advances understanding of management, entrepreneurship, and business development. The journal seeks work that connects a clearly defined scholarly problem with credible evidence and explains its contribution to knowledge, managerial practice, or policy.

Objectives

The journal aims to support the exchange of research among academics, practitioners, and policymakers; encourage critical examination of managerial problems; and disseminate findings that inform responsible organizational and business development. Manuscripts should explain what can be learned beyond the immediate research setting, while acknowledging the limits of their evidence.

Scope

  • Marketing management: consumer behaviour, service quality, branding, customer relationships, digital marketing, and marketing strategy.
  • Human resource management: recruitment, employee development, leadership, organizational behaviour, performance, and employee well-being.
  • Financial management: corporate finance, financial decisions, risk management, financial performance, and the management of conventional or Islamic financial services.
  • Operations management: production, service operations, supply chains, logistics, quality management, and operational improvement.
  • Strategic management: organizational strategy, innovation, governance, competitiveness, digital transformation, and business sustainability.
  • Entrepreneurship: venture creation, entrepreneurial behaviour, small and medium-sized enterprises, family businesses, and social entrepreneurship.

Relevance and readership

Research on economic development, accounting, technology, or sustainability is considered when it makes a clear contribution to one or more of the management fields above. Merely using a business organization as the study site does not establish relevance to the journal.

The journal serves researchers, lecturers, students, business practitioners, and policymakers. Submissions are assessed for relevance, analytical quality, transparency, and contribution rather than the statistical significance or direction of their findings.
