This article introduces the Special Issue “Sustainability in Family Firms: Leading the Path Forward”, highlighting how family businesses extend the traditional Triple Bottom Line by adding a fourth dimension—perpetuity—rooted in…
Inclusive stakeholder engagement for intergenerational equity: The Moderating and Mediating Roles of Climate Capacities
The Institutional Limitations of Emancipation: The Inclusion of Disabled Employees in the Egyptian Public Context Post Covid-19
Drawing on 26 semi-structured in-depth interviews with disabled employees, this paper explores the work environment of disabled individuals in Egyptian public organizations and how it affects their feelings of emancipation. The findings show that institutional limitations translated into poor public policy implementation by the state and discriminatory organizational practices constitute major hurdles to the inclusiveness and empowerment of disab…
Publishing Big Data research in Business Ethics, the Environment and Responsibility: Advice for authors
In this third part of our Business Ethics, the Environment, and Responsibility (BEER) Spotlight Editorial Series, we would like to discuss the growing share of data-driven research that falls within the scope of BEER.'Big Data'-as one of the main labels in this area-can be described in a variety of ways (Boyd & Crawford, 2012;Kitchin & McArdle, 2016).However, the 'three Vs' of volume, velocity and variety (Laney, 2001) are typically referred to i…
Pursuing innovative solutions to sustainability problems through openness: A future research agenda
Following a previous BEER editorial on responsible business engagement with sustainability and the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (Jamali et al., 2022), in this editorial we intend to shed light on tackling sustainability problems via organizational openness.1 In general, sustainability problems (e.g., poverty, irresponsible production and consumption, planet harming) are broad in scope and have several interrelated facet…
Sustainability and interactive network branding in fast‐changing business environments
This editorial is part of our BEER Spotlight Editorial Series, where we aim to shed light on relevant topics in business that we believe need more academic attention in BEER and beyond. In this editorial, we address the topic of sustainability in relation to interactive network branding (INB) in the context of fast-changing business environments. Manifold crises are currently affecting business markets, threatening the existence of companies. The…
Business Ethics, the Environment & Responsibility: Taking stock and looking forward
In this editorial, we would like to share recent developments at BEER with our community and discuss some journal performance metrics, not least in the light of the recent 2022 Clarivate Impact Factor announcement. We would also like to share some further improvement initiatives, including calls for Associate Editors & Editorial Review Board Members. But, before that, we would like to start with some exciting news—the appointment of Prof. Martina…
Corporate Governance Meets Corporate Social Responsibility: Mapping the Interface
Despite ample research on corporate governance (CG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR), there is a lack of consensus on the nature of the relationship between these two concepts and on how this relationship manifests across institutional contexts. Drawing on the national business systems approach, this article systematically reviews 218 research articles published over a 27-year period to map how CG–CSR research has evolved and progressed …
Behind the scenes of an academic journal: Challenges, commitment, and resilience
First, credit where credit is due: let us start by congratulating the winners of the 2021 BEER Best Paper Award! For this year's process, we decided to introduce a public vote on the Best Paper nominees selected by our Associate Editors. The public voting procedure turned out to be very popular, with more than 1500 votes received within a four-week period. The winners are Escadas et al. (2019) with their paper titled “Why bad feelings predict goo…
The SDGs: A change agenda shaping the future of business and humanity at large
This editorial is the second in our BEER Spotlight Editorial Series, where we intend to shed light on important emerging topics in business that we think deserve more scholarly attention, both in BEER and beyond. Specifically, our aim is to focus on hot future-oriented topics related to business ethics, the environment and responsibility, which have relevance and importance, and that we expect to gain traction and attention over the coming period…
Beer Heterodoxies: A new section to trigger unorthodox voices and perspectives
Academic journals in the fields of business and ethics often publish similar pieces of research, not only in terms of research paradigms and theories, but also with regard to methodology, structure and writing style. This generally translates into a routine of publishing incremental contributions, and drifts away from revelatory research that is likely to be bold and daring, and thus able to shift mainstream narratives, paradigms or mindsets (Cor…
Rising like a phoenix: From suppression to 6.967
Let us start by sharing some amazing news. In the recently published 2020 Clarivate Journal Citation Reports, BEER has been listed with an Impact Factor of 6.967, which represents an extraordinary improvement compared to previous years, and a strong comeback after the Impact Factor suppression that the journal faced in 2019 (Jamali et al., 2020). As many of you might know, part of the Impact Factor increase across the outlets that are included in…
Do business ethics really matter
Now that, with the help of our rather provocative title, we have successfully managed to draw your attention to our Editorial, we would like to engage in a brief reflection on the current state of the business ethics literature, future trajectories and ways to position scholarship in this evolving field, by identifying avenues for wider circulation and greater impact. For the impatient reader who is short of time, let us provide a quick answer to…
Developmental and collegial peer‐reviews: A Beer roadmap
Peer-review is the first line of defense that academic journals use to determine the academic rigor of manuscripts. Having overseen the Editorial work for this journal for a few years, and knowing the overall crisis the academic community is facing, with the dwindling availability of quality reviews, we thought it would be timely to channel our Editorial to focus on what constitutes a developmental and collegial peer-review. Many previous papers …
Grand challenges in developing countries: Context, relationships, and logics
Global hunger, poverty, exploitation of labor, illiteracy, infectious diseases, corruption, racism, migration of the productive workforce, inequality, gender biases, increased toxic emissions, biodiversity loss, and climate change are some of the important social and ecological challenges that the world continues to grapple with, with no satisfactory solutions in sight (World Economic Forum, 2016). These societal challenges have been labeled as “…
Chaos as opportunity
To say 2020 has been unprecedented and extremely chaotic is an understatement. Globally with the pandemic, we have experienced revolutionary impacts on the economy, higher education, and the importance of mental health awareness for both students and faculty. For the journal, we have experienced the additional disruption from the unexpected and sudden suppression of our impact factor (see Jamali et al., 2020). Also, we are well aware that this ye…
