The journal is dedicated to the formulation, development, implementation and evaluation of enterprise policy. The journal is a peer review journal as such a double-blind review process is followed, supported by a national and international Editorial Review Board to ensure academic integrity

The mission of the AJOEBS is to publish empirical and theoretical contributions in the form of fieldwork, case-studies, qualitative, quantitative and conceptual papers. The significance of the findings is applied as relevant and functional in the entrepreneurial and management fields.
