Aims & Scope

Aims

The International Journal of Global Business Innovation (IJGBI) publishes rigorous research that advances understanding of how innovations in technologies, business models, and organizational practices are created, governed, and scaled across international contexts. The journal’s aim is to connect innovation research with global business scholarship by explaining how cross-border institutions, multinational strategies, and transnational networks shape innovation outcomes, and how innovation, in turn, reconfigures global competition, collaboration, and value creation. The journal is methodologically pluralist, publishing high-quality quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, computational, experimental, and review-based work, provided research designs are transparent and claims are well substantiated. Priority is given to manuscripts that deliver clear theoretical contributions by specifying mechanisms and boundary conditions linking innovation processes to global business systems, while offering implications relevant to managerial decision-making and policy design.

Scope

The scope of the Journal includes, but is not limited to:

• Global innovation strategy and internationalization pathways
• Multinational R&D and distributed innovation

Editorial Process

Plagiarism

Plagiarism detection is performed at ICCK using the iThenticate- Crossref Similarity Checking tool. This web-based tool is employed in the editorial process to identify potential text plagiarism. It's important to note that while iThenticate can identify matching text, it cannot independently determine whether plagiarism has occurred. Manual examination of the matching text is still necessary, and judgment must be exercised to ascertain the presence or absence of plagiarism. The similarity report might be sent to the author for revision whenever needed.

ICCK takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously, and our editors are trained to enforce COPE's Core Practices and Guidelines, with a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism, data falsification, and other behaviours. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate/Crossref Similarity Check to check submissions against previous publications.
