Societal Impact Advisory Committee (SIAC)
Consistent with this editorial team’s dual mottos of “to make JIBS matter” and “to make JIBS matter for a better world”, the SIAC provides advice to the editors on attracting, reviewing and enhancing the contributions of manuscripts on topics related to the grand challenges facing international business. Such research can potentially contribute to the betterment of societies, locally or globally, through influencing or enabling positive IB practices. The members of the Committee will also work with the Area Editors and authors to strengthen the discussion of the findings of conditionally-accepted papers that have relevance to such grand challenges so that the potential societal impact of the discoveries can be highlighted. There are many pathways to societal impact including, but not limited to, multinational firm strategies, ESG practices, on communities, on UN SDG goals and meaningful managerial practices. JIBS, of course, continues to welcome other thought-provoking, theoretically ground-breaking and technically excellent submissions that have no discernible societal or practical impact.
