Dear AIB members,
Multinational Business Review (MBR)
celebrates its 2019 achievements with this virtual issue, a collection of selected papers free to access for one month until April 23 (https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/news_story.htm?id=8990).
The selected papers are chosen based on their impact since their publications and over the past three years. The virtual issue does not include Open Access articles, that are listed below separately.
MBR is growing in both reach and quality, having seen a 22% increase in downloads in the last three years. Along with this, we have also seen recent increases in traditional journal rankings; MBR is now ranked a B in the Australian
Business Deans Council (ABDC), with a 2018 Impact Factor of 1.436 and a 2018 CiteScore of 2.46.
These achievements would not have been possible without the efforts and dedication of our Editorial Board members and authors who we would like to thank for their dedication.
This virtual issue comprises of the following papers, all of which are available on Emerald Insight:
