ACADEMIC ORIENTATION

Journal Focus

Economics and Digital Business Review focuses on publishing high-quality research that strengthens theoretical understanding, empirical knowledge, and professional practice in economics, management, and business. The journal examines economic behavior, market structures, organizational strategies, financial decision-making, entrepreneurial development, and institutional practices within rapidly changing local and global environments.

The journal places particular emphasis on the relationships between economic development, business competitiveness, digital technologies, and organizational transformation. It encourages research investigating how technological innovation, digital platforms, artificial intelligence, financial technology, business analytics, and information systems influence economic activities, managerial decisions, customer relationships, financial performance, and organizational effectiveness.

The journal also welcomes rigorous studies addressing established economic and business issues without an explicit digital component, provided that they offer meaningful scholarly contributions. Technology-oriented manuscripts are expected to demonstrate clear relevance to economic, managerial, financial, organizational, or market-related questions rather than focusing exclusively on technical implementation.
