About the Journal
The ZJBEM provides an ideal forum for exchange of research output, and information in business, economics, management, hospitality and tourism, and public administration in various formats: full length research papers, work-in progress reports on promising developments, case studies, and best practice articles written by industry experts. Accordingly, we welcome manuscripts that can demonstrate near-term practical usefulness particularly contributions that take a multidisplinary/convergent approach because real world problems are complex in nature.
ZJBEM is published biannually. Further, special issues will be published on contemporary issues from time to time. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles online in an open access format after meticulous selection through a double-blind peer-review process. The ZJBEM’s future is bright as it will be indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals. We could reach this stage through the constant support of the Editorial Board members, authors and reviewers.
Current Issue
Dear Esteemed Readers
It is a great honour for us to publish Volume 4, Issue 2 of the Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management (ZJBEM). The issue’s publication coincides with Zimbabwe Open University’s Silver Jubilee Celebrations. The journal welcomes original empirical studies and comprehensive literature review articles focusing on contemporary issues of business, economics and management. Publications in our journal are and will be freely accessible and free of article processing charges. This enables more effective implementation of academic freedom, more innovations, transparency and openness. Eighteen high quality manuscripts are published in this Issue and each paper was subjected to a double-blind peer review process. There are diverse research topics discussed in the articles including artificial intelligence, banking and finance, data analytics, entrepreneurship, human capital management, corporate governance, local government and transport and logistics.
I want to thank our authors, peer reviewers and issue editors who helped to publish this issue. Through their dedication and hard work, ZJBEM continues to flourish. We are a volunteer force united by a passion for the advancement of knowledge in business, economics and management sciences.
Yours sincerely
Professor Tavong
