EKOBIRA: Journal Ekonomi, Bisnis, Manajemen dan Kewirausahaan is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing pioneering research at the multidimensional intersection of economics, corporate business, organizational management, and entrepreneurial innovation. Positioned as a premier scholarly forum, the journal serves academic economists, business strategists, management professionals, and startup ecosystem developers worldwide. EKOBIRA prioritizes macro-level economic evaluations, rigorous empirical business investigations, and disruptive managerial frameworks that address the complexities of modern corporate ecosystems and the rapid growth of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). By bridging foundational economic theories with actionable entrepreneurial practices, the journal fosters a deep, comprehensive understanding of sustainable business models, agile organizational leadership, and market competitiveness in a dynamic global economy.

Scope and Topics
The journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, critical literature reviews, and comprehensive business case studies that offer significant contributions to the following thematic areas:

Economics & Public Policy: Macroeconomic and microeconomic dynamics, regional economic development, monetary and fiscal policies, international trade, and the political economy.

Business & Corporate Strategy: International business frameworks, digital business transformation, e-commerce ecosystems, corporate governance, and sustainable business modeling (ESG).

Organizational Management: Human resource management (HRM) and organizational behavior, marketing strategies and consumer psychology, financial management and accounting, and supply chain operations.

Entrepreneurship & SME Development: Startup incubation and scaling strategies, social entrepreneurship, venture capital and crowdfunding dynamics, and the commercialization of technological innovations.

Innovation & Strategic Leadership: Change management, agile leadership in disruptive markets, strategic decision-making, and the cultivation of intrapreneurship within established organizations.

Publication Frequency
To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and timely dissemination of cutting-edge business intelligence, EKOBIRA is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on urgent global economic shifts, regional entrepreneurial policies, or emergent digital market trends may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.

Peer Review Process
EKOBIRA enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, analytical objectivity, and empirical validity.

Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Subject Editor to assess thematic alignment, methodological soundness, and structural compliance. Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is strictly executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the journal's maximum threshold.

Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent international reviewers who are established academic experts or industry leaders in the specific domains of economics, business, or management.

Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on the intellectual merit, methodological rigor, and practical applicability of the work to the business and economic sectors.

Mission Statement: "The mission of EKOBIRA is to deconstruct corporate and economic complexities, catalyzing sustainable, ethical, and innovative business practices within a rapidly evolving global market. Grounded in the philosophy that robust economic policies, effective managerial frameworks, and dynamic entrepreneurial ventures are the absolute anchors for national resilience, poverty alleviation, and societal prosperity, the journal aims to democratize advanced business knowledge by providing an unrestricted, high-impact platform for global scholarly dialogue. Through the promotion of diverse and rigorous methodological approaches—encompassing quantitative econometric modeling, qualitative corporate ethnography, and mixed-methods market research—EKOBIRA seeks to empower corporate leaders, inspire entrepreneurial innovators, and shape future-proof, evidence-based economic policies worldwide."
