*SAJGBR’s Mission and Coverage*

The mission of SAJGBR is to advance theoretical and empirical knowledge of
business issues facing multinational and local organizations of South Asia
and South Asian diaspora. We are committed to providing a unified platform
to publish research that links scholarly communities in South Asia with the
rest of the world. We are open to all empirical methods including
qualitative, quantitative and mixed approaches. To be published in SAJGBR,
a manuscript must use one or more South Asian countries as the context of
its study. We use The World Bank definition of South Asia [available at:
www.worldbank.org] which includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India,
Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

*Editorial Criteria*

SAJGBR is multidisciplinary in scope. We accept submissions in any of the
business fields—Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, Marketing and
Technology—and are open to other disciplines that enhance understanding of
international business activity, including anthropology, political science,
psychology and sociology, etc. However, authors must clearly underline how
their study relates to the advancement of international business theory
and/or practice. We are especially interested in manuscripts that integrate
theories and concepts taken from different fields and disciplines.

We aim to publish high quality research articles, policy reviews, book
reviews, country/practitioner/personal perspectives, conference reflections
and commentaries, which contribute to the scholarly and managerial
understanding of contemporary South Asian businesses and diaspora. We
encourage authors to study relevance of mainstream theories or practices in
their fields of interest, critique and offer fresh insights on South Asian
businesses and diaspora, as well contribute to the development of new
theories.*
