# Journal of International Business Studies (journal-of-international-business-studies)
## Journal positioning
JIBS is the flagship journal of the Academy of International Business (AIB) and the premier outlet for international business research. Its defining requirement is that the international or cross-border dimension be central, not incidental: multinational enterprises, foreign direct investment, cross-national distance, global strategy, internationalization, and institutions across countries. JIBS is multidisciplinary — strategy, economics, finance, organizational behavior, marketing, and political science all appear — but the contribution must advance IB theory and turn on the international element. The audience is IB scholars across disciplines, so a single-country or domestic study with a token "international" label will not pass.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the AIB / JIBS / Palgrave–Springer site and the submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names JIBS (or the AIB flagship / FT50 international-business elite) as the venue.
- A paper's core question is genuinely international — MNEs, FDI, distance, internationalization, global strategy, cross-national institutions.
- A management/economics paper with an international setting needs re-framing so the cross-border dimension carries the contribution.
- The author needs JIBS's desk-reject risks and a credible `strategic-management-journal` / `academy-of-management-journal` / `research-policy` alternative list.
