Activities

The Swiss Society of Business Administration (SGB) publishes the academic journal Swiss Journal of Business. The journal’s target audience includes researchers and students at universities and universities of applied sciences, as well as professionals in the field of business administration.

The editorial board consists of at least one representative from each German-speaking university in Switzerland. The journal’s scope covers both the core disciplines of business administration (e.g., marketing, accounting, finance, organization, and corporate management) as well as newer fields such as technology and innovation management.

The Swiss Journal of Business aims to disseminate new findings from business research, draw attention to important issues in business practice, present scientifically sound solutions for practical application, and generally promote the exchange between academia and the business world.

The quality of the articles is ensured through a double-blind peer review process. The reviewers are experts from the academic community.
