About the Journal

British Journal of Business Studies and Entrepreneurship (BJBSE) focuses solely on qualitative and quantitative research in all areas of business, entrepreneurship, innovation and entrepreneurial marketing, and governmental and industrial policies that inhibit or stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation in emerging economies.

British Journal of Business Studies and Entrepreneurship (BJBSE) is published by Academy of Social Scientific And Applied Research (ASSAAR). ASSAAR is a unique global forum that brings together people from across the world to discuss the key issues relating to business, entrepreneurship and management that impact the world sustainable development.

Public and private sector organizations alike face ongoing pressure to streamline activities, improve efficiency and achieve demanding organizational objectives. In this context, the ability of senior managers to understand the culture and dynamics of organizations and to deliver strong leadership during periods of change could be the difference between organizational failure and success.

The objective of ASSAAR is to promote the exchange of knowledge, experience, information and ideas among academicians, scholars, professionals, policy & decision makers, industry, executives and students to improve the mutual understanding of the aspects of business, role of entrepreneurship and management in achieving sustainable development all over the world.

AIMS

ASSAAR aims as a forum for academics, practitioners and policymakers from around the world to exchange concepts, research, and best practices about entrepreneurship and management. The journal aims to integrate the study of these disciplines to achieve sustainable development (SD) and help to stimulate debate amongst scholars, researchers and policymakers across the world with a view to defining common, effective responses to tomorrow’s challenges. Given the apparently contradictory needs of economic growth and environmental conservation, it comes as no surprise that the impact of the global financial crisis on SD has had such a powerful influence in contemporary discussions on the future of our world.

ASSAAR encourages Guest Editors to submit proposals for Special Issues addressing specific issue(s) of the broad theme of the journal or resulting from relevant conferences. ASSAAR will also consider themed special issues with a focus on a particular country or a region.
