SEAANZ

SEAANZ actively promotes small business research and encourages small business researchers to become part of the world-wide SEAANZ research network. SEAANZ is keen to hear from any researcher who is interested in conducting research either individually or in conjunction with other members.

The main forum for presenting research is the annual conference and our journal (full text, members only, but contents pages are available to all). In addition, SEAANZ conducts special topic research forums from time to time. For details of any upcoming events, check our Events and Conferences.

SEAANZ Knowledge section is divided into five sections: Current Issues, Small Enterprise Research; Knowledge Links, Journal of Small Business Management, and InterICSB.

Current Issues: Issues new to SEAANZ.

Small Enterprise Research: The Journal of SEAANZ has as its vision the promotion, publication and dissemination of research and general articles of the highest standard that focus on the small enterprise sector. In publishing high quality research the editor and his/her editorial committee seek to continue to develop a small enterprise research journal of the highest standard.

Knowledge Links: SEAANZ identifies resources of information that we think will benefit our membership. Please review each link and description before being re-directed to the specific webpage.

Journal of Small Business Management (JSBM): The primary purpose of the Journal of Small Business Management (JSBM), published by Blackwell Publishing on behalf of the International Council for Small Business (ICSB), is to publish scholarly research articles in the fields of small business management and entrepreneurship. As the official journal of the International Council for Small Business (ICSB), the JSBM is recognized as a primary instrument for projecting and supporting the goals and objectives of this organization, which include scholarly research and the free exchange of ideas. The journal, which is circulated in 60 countries around the world, is a leader in the field of small business research. As a member of SEAANZ and also ICSB, you will receive the JSBM as part of your membership benefits.

InterICSB: It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 2008 issue of the Inter-ICSB. The inaugural Inter-ICSB was launched at the 2007 ICSB World Conference in Turku, Finland and is modeled on the highly successful Inter-RENT developed by the ICSB European Affiliate (ECSB). Congratulations to the editors, authors, and reviewers on assembling this outstanding collection of research and knowledge.
