Overview The International Indigenous Journal of Entrepreneurship, Advancement, Strategy and Education is a fully blind-refereed journal, although we also publish non-refereed material, i.e. book reviews and commentary. Our Editorial Board includes academics with competence in all areas covered by the journal. This Journal accepts material previously published elsewhere, as long as our peer review process deems the material of interest to our readers. These Instructions to Authors are published so that submissions may be prepared to a standard format and style. In addition, all authors should remember that the journal has an international readership - local acronyms or organizations, for example, need to be explained. Please read our Call for Papers before you submit any material. You will need to understand what kind of manuscripts we will consider for this Journal.

Form of submission Papers should be submitted to the Managing Editor, by e-mail, to the Editor. We will acknowledge every e-mail, and we will try our best to complete the review process within 60 days. All manuscripts are given at least two complete blind reviews by the panel of Associate Editors. Authors will be notified within 60 days of submission of acceptance, revisions, or rejection. The document must be in in HTML or XHTML format, suitable for browsing with Netscape or Internet Explorer versions 4.0 or higher. Any diagrams in the text should be converted to .gif or .jpg files and included in the files on the diskette or as additional attachments to the e-mail message. (Useful guides are: Ian S. Graham, HTML 4.0 Sourcebook, Wiley, 1998. Chuck Musciano and Bill Kennedy, HTML and XHTML: the definitive guide, (5th ed.) O'Reilly, 2002). DO NOT USE MicroSoft's Word program or its html editor Front Page to convert your word-processed document to HTML - these programs add a great deal of unnecessary coding, inflating the file by up to 200% and making the page unreadable in the intended way by older browsers. If you use this kind of conversion program, your paper will be returned for editing and this may delay publication. Follow the writing style in: The Oxford guide to style. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002. You may also use the Economist Style Guide which can be accessed on the web.

Layout Note that the International Indigenous Journal of Entrepreneurship, Advancement, Strategy and Educationuses a standard layout for its articles, and we will automatically convert material to this standard. The title, authors names and affiliations, etc., at the head of the paper should appear as follows: Sustainability Measurements for Non-Profit Organizations in the Health Sector JH Mueller, PR Tubbs and FM Morganthau Department of Strategic Management and Leadership Waikato Management School Hamilton New Zealand Abstracts are very important as we and citation indexing services use them for search engines. A well-written abstract helps others to find your paper, and it encourages them to read your full manuscript. Your abstract should be between 140 and 220 words in length, and clearly inform as to Introduction, Methods, Analysis, Results and Conclusions. You probably will write 2-3 short sentences for each of these categories. If your paper is not a 'standard' research paper, for instance one with a high degree of qualitative, speculative and editorial content, we will accept a non-structured abstract. Here is an example for a structured abstract: INTRODUCTION We report a review of sustainability practices in not-for-profit, government-sponsored organizations in New Zealand. Funding shortages have been reported as drivers behind the development of sustainability practices at these entities. This study attempts to identify which sustainability characteristics can be found in this population and how effectively they are deployed. METHOD Web-based surveys were employed to access a large population of organizations in the North Island of New Zealand. In-depth interviews were then conducted, followed by structured reviews of the firm, its management and all key staff. The findings were shared with the management, for additional feedback. ANALYSIS We carried out quantitative and qualitative analyses on this data. We used standard SPSS statistical measures for the quantitative portion, and developed a structured table/matrix system to categorize qualitative information. RESULTS Sustainability is a highly non-specific term and applied differently in different organizations worldwide. There is considerable attraction to the notion of "remaining in business forever", but we found that the approach to sustainability in practice varied greatly throughout the researched population. CONCLUSION A management focus on sustainability as part of the business tactics increases the awareness of the staff as to long-term operating success. Organizations which can demonstrate sustainability awareness and application, receive more funding from donors than those firms which do not. Citations are based on the APA publication manual (5th ed.) style, which is the most widely used style for bibliography references. Several authoring applications, such as EndNote and Reference Manager, use this style. |
