The IJIS publishes fundamental and applied research in innovation practices as the official journal of the International Association of Innovation Professionals (IAOIP).
The objectives of the journal are to develop and promote the fields of innovation and technology management by providing a platform for reporting, sharing as well as the exchange of ideas, research findings, industry best practice and trends in the selected fields. In particular, the journal will focus on the managerial issues and challenges (and ways to address them) brought about by the increasing pace of technological advancement globally. This international dimension is emphasized in order to promote greater exchange between researchers of different cultural and national background, thus contributing and enriching our knowledge in the fields of innovation and technology management.
Today, as never before, firms are realising they must work to effectively manage the domestic and international supply of products and services into, through, and out of their firms to customers. Ultimately, effectively-integrated supply management results in lower costs, higher quality, better customer service, and higher profits for the organisation, its suppliers and its distributors. IJISM addresses all disciplines regarding supply integration issues throughout the firm and its domestic and international supply chain partners.
Major catalysts, e.g. deregulation, global competition, technological breakthroughs, changing customer expectations, structural changes, excess capacity, environmental concerns, less protectionism, etc., are reshaping the landscape of corporations worldwide. Assumptions about predictability, stability and clear boundaries are becoming less valid as two key actors have a clear impact on the nature of competitive space: agents with knowledge and interactions. IJIE covers new concepts of strategy and organisation as competitiveness of companies increasingly depends upon exploiting the new strategic potentials of intellect/service technologies.
IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, research and practice in the field of intercultural relations, including, but not limited to, topics such as acculturation; intercultural communication; intergroup perceptions, contact, and interactions; intercultural training; and cultural diversity in education, organizations and society.
