The mission of The Coastal Business Journal (The CBJ) is to support the practice and teaching of business administration through the timely distribution of applied scholarly papers. The Coastal Business Journal gives preference to papers that specifically focus on issues pertaining to business administration and business development within coastal geographic regions, although more far-reaching topics of academic and/or practitioner interest will be considered as well.
We are a multi-disciplinary, double-blind reviewed outlet for your scholarly papers which seeks to increase the body of knowledge in a wide range of areas of business administration and business development. Our audience is intended to be both practitioners and academicians - ideal topics for publication consideration would be of interest to both groups.
See the Aims and Scope for a complete coverage of the journal.
