COMPETITION FORUM.

Aims and Scope

Competition Forum (CF) is a leading scholarly outlet focusing on business competition in the global marketplace. It provides a forum for understanding the nature of competition, global interdependence and connectivity, and the essence of competing on a global scale. In addition, CF presents original articles on a wide range of subjects related to business conduct and operations within and across nations. Both empirical and conceptual papers are welcome. Papers written by emerging scholars are encouraged. All papers submitted should be original and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts are subject to double-blind peer review.

Primarily, CF focuses on broadening the understanding of the nature of the marketplace in a globalized economy where complex actors respond simultaneously and instantaneously to market signals, thereby widening the arena of competition without limiting organizational goals to mere simple profit. That is, business organizations should purposefully engage in activities which ultimately optimize their long-term achievements and strengthen their capacity for renewal and growth. Accordingly, CF seeks to enhance firms' abilities to sustain their market long-term vitality, while effectively serving their stakeholders.

The Competition Forum observes ethical conduct. It is expected that editors, reviewers, and authors be committed to a high standard of scholarly writing that meets ethical requirements. Our commitment to ethics in publication is primarily based on the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
