The ISM Journal
The ISM Journal of International Business is the key vehicle for intellectual exchange among the ISM academic community and beyond. In tune with the exciting times we are experiencing at ISM, The ISM Journal of International Business was recently revamped. Papers are assessed through a double-blind review process. The journal is released annually and submissions are accepted throughout the year. All topics related to international business and management are considered.
