About the Journal

Aims and Scope

The Journal of Business Capabilities and Strategy (JBCS) advances understanding of how businesses develop, combine and renew capabilities to formulate and implement strategy. It examines how resources, managerial choices and organisational processes contribute to competitiveness, innovation, growth and sustained performance across different institutional and market environments.

The journal connects research across business functions through a shared focus on capabilities and strategic outcomes. It welcomes research on small and medium-sized enterprises, family businesses and multinational enterprises. Studies may examine individual firms, business units or interorganisational relationships, provided that their contribution to business capabilities or strategy is explicit.

Topics of Interest

  • Strategy formulation, strategic decision-making and strategy implementation.
  • Dynamic capabilities, resource orchestration, organisational learning and knowledge management.
  • Business model innovation, entrepreneurship and strategic renewal.
  • Internationalisation, foreign market entry, foreign direct investment and strategies in emerging markets.
  • Marketing capabilities, market orientation, customer value creation and competitive positioning.
  • Operations, supply chain and quality management capabilities.
  • Corporate governance, ownership structures and strategic performance.
  • Digital transformation, business analytics and technology-enabled capabilities.
  • Sustainability strategies, organisational resilience and long-term value creation.

Contributions

JBCS welcomes original empirical research, conceptual and theoretical contributions, rigorous literature reviews and analytically developed case studies. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods approaches are welcome. Contributions should establish a clear relationship between business capabilities or strategic choices and their organisational consequences, including financial and non-financial outcomes. Studies of finance, marketing, human resources or technology should make a substantive contribution to capabilities or strategy rather than address a functional topic in isolation.
