All empirical methods including qualitative, quantitative, field and combination methods are welcome. In addition, we also accept research that is theoretical, conceptual and case study focused. In order to be published in JBRMR, a manuscript must make strong experiential and theoretical contributions and highlight the significance of those contributions to the retail management field. Thus, preference is given to submissions that test, extend or build strong empirical and theoretical frameworks while critically examining issues with high importance for retail business management theory and practice.
