JIBP Aims & Scope • 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: Policy-oriented and relevant • 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.

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 of 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 optimal 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.
