Focus and Scope

The Business, Accounting and Management Journal (BAMJ) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original research that explores the intersection of religious values, indigenous wisdom, and contemporary management practices. The journal serves as a multidisciplinary platform for scholars to examine how cultural traditions and spiritual frameworks shape economic behavior, organizational resilience, and business ethics in emerging markets.

We welcome submissions within the following thematic areas:

1. Indigenous Leadership and Prophetic Management

This scope focuses on leadership models rooted in local heritage (such as the Javanese Asta Brata) integrated with Prophetic characteristics (Siddiq, Amanah, Fathonah, Tabligh). We encourage studies on how these blended values influence decision-making and governance in family-owned micro-enterprises and modern organizations.

2. Islamic Ethno-Business Ethics and Social Capital

Focuses on the synthesis between Islamic business ethics and communal cultural values (e.g., Gotong Royong and Ngajeni). This includes research on consumer relationship management, trust-building (Amanah), and the sustainability of industrial clusters through collective ethics.

3. Spiritual Resilience and Entrepreneurial Psychology

Explores the psychological and theological dimensions of entrepreneurship, specifically how spiritual practices (e.g., Tirakat) and fatalistic yet empowering philosophies (e.g., Tawakkal and Nerimo Ing Pandum) affect achievement motivation, mental toughness, and business resilience during economic crises.

4. Halal Ecosystems and Cultural Authenticity

Investigates the implementation of Halalan Thayyiban standards within traditional sectors. This scope covers the tension and harmony between religious compliance and the preservation of cultural authenticity in the culinary arts, branding, and the use of indigenous symbolism in Muslim-oriented marketing strategies.

5. Islamic Philanthropy and Community Socio-Economics

Analyzes the integration of Islamic redistributive instruments (Zakat, Sadaqah, and Waqf) into local social rituals (e.g., Slametan or Syukuran). We seek papers that examine how these practices strengthen the socio-economic ecosystem of traditional merchant communities.

6. Digital Transformation and Socio-Cultural Barriers

Examines the adoption of technology in SMEs through the lens of local wisdom (e.g., the principle of Alon-Alon Waton Kelakon or "slow but sure"). This includes the impact of cultural prudence and religious ethics on digital adaptation and the speed of innovation in traditional markets.

7. Succession Planning and Business Continuity

Focuses on the intergenerational transfer of values within family businesses, emphasizing the synchronization of ancestral traditions and Islamic principles of justice to ensure long-term sustainability.
