# Journal of International Business Studies Workflow (jibs-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which jibs-* skill to use right now** for your JIBS manuscript.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JIBS — the flagship, top-ranked *international-business* journal, established 1970, published by Palgrave Macmillan (Springer Nature) on behalf of the **Academy of International Business (AIB)**, of which it is the official journal. JIBS studies cross-border, multi-country, and **multilevel** phenomena: MNEs, internationalization, cross-cultural management, international strategy/finance/economics, and global political economy, with **country and culture treated as explicit levels of analysis**. The non-negotiable bar: a manuscript must address a real-world international-business **phenomenon, problem, or puzzle** and state explicitly what it contributes to **IB theory** — incremental single-country extensions are discouraged. JIBS is paradigmatically and methodologically **pluralistic** (quantitative, qualitative, mixed, theory); rigor and a clear IB theoretical contribution are the gatekeepers, not any one method.

> Editorial team context: Rosalie L. Tung (Simon Fraser University) is the current Editor in Chief on the Springer journal home and editorial-board page, with Anne Hoekman listed as Managing Editor. The submission route is the JIBS online tool at mc.manuscriptcentral.com; optional gold open access is priced on the Springer "How to publish with us" page.

## When to trigger

- "What should I do next?" with a half-built JIBS manuscript
- You have cross-country data and a result but no clear IB theoretical story
