About the journal
Business Horizons is the bimonthly journal of the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University. The editorial aim is to publish original articles of interest to business academicians and practitioners. Articles cover a wide range of topical areas within the general field of business, with emphasis on identifying important business issues or problems and recommending solutions that address these. Ideally, articles will prompt readers to think about business practice in new and innovative ways. Business Horizons fills a unique niche among business publications of its type by publishing articles that strike a balance between the practical and the academic. To this end, articles published in Business Horizons are grounded in scholarship, yet are presented in a readable, non-technical format such that the content is accessible to a wide business audience.
Manuscripts should be prepared in conformance with the Style Guide for Authors. All submissions should be sent electronically to the editor at bushor@indiana.edu. Submission of a manuscript to Business Horizons implies a commitment by the author(s) to engage in the review process and to have the article published should it be accepted. Articles previously published, those under consideration by another journal, and those with a pre-existing copyright may not be submitted. Upon submission, authors also agree not to submit the manuscript for consideration elsewhere during the review period. Editorial decisions on all submissions are final.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts submitted to Business Horizons should address topical and timely issues of relevance to business academicians and practitioners. Successful submissions will typically be structured around identifying and developing a problem or issue and providing relevant solutions. Importantly, manuscipts should go beyond description and offer sound prescriptive advice. Manuscripts should also be solidly grounded in a scholarly foundation with appropriate and judicious use of source citations. Manuscripts should also be written in clear, non-technical language, with a broad business readership in mind. While the language should be engaging and informative, authors should avoid the use of jargon and technical terminology.
Manuscripts should be prepared consistent with the following guidelines. Manuscripts which do not conform to these guidelines may be returned to the author(s) without review for reformatting.
1. Double-space, use a 12 point font with normal text spacing, and one-inch margins throughout the entire manuscript. Manuscripts should not exceed 25 pages, all-inclusive. We cannot, however, consider notes, briefs, or commentaries. All pages, save the title page, should include pagination. Page numbers should appear centered at the bottom of each page.
2. The first page of the manuscript should include the title of the manuscript and complete contact information for each author with author name, affiliation, full postal mail address, email address, telephone number, and fax number. The corresponding author should be clearly noted in the case of multiple authors.
3. The second page of the manuscript should include the title of the manuscript, an abstract of 150 to 200 words, and four to five key words or short phrases that accurately reflect the content of the manuscript. Abstracts should be designed to provide a comprehensive executive summary of the manuscript in a manner that draws the reader's attention.
4. The body of the text should begin on the third manuscript page. The manuscript text should begin with an introductory heading.
5. Incorporate headings and sub-headings throughout the manuscript to aid readability. First order headings should be centered and all capital letters. Second order headings should be centered and use both upper and lower case letters. Headings should be descriptive and informative, yet not standard academic style. For example, rather than use "Introduction", you might elect to use "Corporate Women: Another Look". The aim is to guide the reader with innovative and lively language.
6. Business Horizons relies on the APA (American Psychological Association) style of referencing. Authors should carefully document their work while at the same time judiciously select references. A complete list of references cited should appear at the end of the text, and preceding any tables, figures, or graphs. Only works cited in the manuscript should be included in the references section. The references should begin on a new manuscript page, with the heading REFERENCES appearing centered at the top of this page. We do not rely on footnotes or endnotes. Any full or partial with-in text quoted material should include the relevant page number(s) with the source citation (e.g., Author & Author, 2008, p.1). Please also note the use of ampersand for within text citations contained in parentheses. The following are examples of the APA referencing style. Please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, ISBN 1-55798-790-4 or http://www.apastyle.org/elecref.html for further style guidelines.
