Focus and Scope

Inquietud Empresarial is a scientific, open-access, and continuously published journal, issuing two volumes per year. It is dedicated to publishing research articles, case studies, methodologies, review articles, and bibliometric and scientometric analyses in both English and Spanish. The journal covers the fields of business, management, production, and business economics. Its primary topics are:

  1. Sustainability: This topic includes studies on how companies implement sustainable practices, uphold social responsibility, and adopt policies aligned with the circular economy and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The focus on sustainability involves promoting business models that minimize environmental impact and foster social well-being.
  2. Innovation and Technology: This area explores technological advancements and their application in the business environment, including artificial intelligence and knowledge transfer. These developments drive sustainability by enabling innovations that optimize resources, enhance processes, and support the circular economy.
  3. Entrepreneurship: This topic encompasses entrepreneurial intentions and the creation of business models that provide creative solutions to social and economic challenges. Entrepreneurship, especially social entrepreneurship, aligns with sustainability by creating businesses aimed at positive societal and environmental impacts.

The approach enhances productivity, encourages employment, and contributes to sustainability through responsible and conscientious production methods.
  5. Decision-Making: This area focuses on managing risk and uncertainty in financial and strategic contexts, utilizing tools such as modeling and forecasting. Informed decision-making supports financial sustainability and allows for responsible planning of investments and strategies.

All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo a “double-blind” peer-review process, with the participation of active researchers and expert reviewers in each subject area. The journal, as a scientific platform, serves as an international forum in business, management, production, and business economics. It is aimed at researchers, university professors, undergraduate and graduate students, and any reader interested in recent research and current or timely discussions within these disciplines.
