About the Journal
Introduction
The International Journal of Religion, Business and Society (IJRBS) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring the complex and multifaceted relationships among religion, commerce, ethics, culture, and social development. We offer a dynamic platform for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to examine how religious beliefs, institutions, and practices influence and are influenced by business activities, social change, public policy, and ethical frameworks across diverse global contexts.
We welcome original research articles, review papers, theoretical contributions, case studies, and policy analyses from a wide range of disciplines, including business studies, sociology, law, anthropology, economics, religious studies, political science, education, and environmental studies. Submissions should explore meaningful intersections with religious or societal dimensions, offering insights that bridge tradition and modernity, theory and practice.
