Vol. 1 No. 1 (2022): Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management

This issue, the first of the Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management (ZJBEM)
It is with profound pleasure, humility and great anticipation that we celebrate the launch of the Zimbabwe Journal of Business, Economics and Management (ZJBEM) with this inaugural issue. On behalf of the Editorial Board of ZJBEM, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our esteemed readers. I take this opportunity to thank our authors, editors and anonymous reviewers all of whom have contributed to the success of the ZJBEM. Special mention goes to Professor Lighton Dube, ZJBEM Managing Editor who coordinated the day-to-day activities of 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 convergent approach because real world problems are complex in nature.
ZJBEM is published twice a year. 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. I am sure with their guidance ZJBEM will be able to serve business, governments, non-governmental organisations, international organisations, and research community more effectively.
We hope you will find ZJBEM informative and timely. We welcome your feedback and if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns, please address them to zjbem.chiefeditor@zou.ac.zw or njayat@zou.ac.zw
