The Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies (JABES) seeks to explore ways of improving sustainability in business and economics with a focus on Asia. The journal examines potential theoretical and empirical solutions to business and economic issues in the context of ‘sustainable development’. JABES welcomes papers covering topics of business and economic development that are of wider significance to sustainable policy, and of interest to businesses and public policy entities. All policy prescriptions should be supported by rigorous analysis and appraisal.
