Conflicts of Interest

A conflict of interest exists when professional judgment concerning the validity of research may be influenced by external factors such as financial gain, material benefits, or personal interests. It may arise for the authors of a manuscript submitted for publication to the Journal of Business Management when external factors may influence the conduct and interpretation of research.

It is important to be aware of the conflicts of interest of the editors, reviewers, and authors in order to make the best decision for the handling of the article during the editorial and peer review process. It is also crucial for the readers of the article to be informed of any conflict of interest.

Author's Conflict of Interest

It is mandatory for all authors to provide full disclosure of any existing or prospective conflicts of interest, encompassing financial, personal, or other relationships that may unintentionally or unreasonably impact their work. As the examples below illustrate, authors are obligated to provide a conflict of interest statement at the moment of manuscript submission.
