  Vol. 1 No. 1 (2026)

  The inaugural issue of the International Journal of Economics, Business, and Management (IJECOMBA) presents a timely exploration of how businesses and economies are evolving in response to contemporary challenges and opportunities. Under the overarching theme of “Sustainable Business Models and Economic Resilience in the Digital Era,” this edition brings together research that examines the intersection of sustainability, digital transformation, and organizational resilience in diverse economic contexts.

  In today’s rapidly changing global landscape, businesses are increasingly expected to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles while leveraging digital technologies to enhance efficiency, competitiveness, and adaptability. This issue addresses critical questions such as:

  • How can organizations develop and implement business models that are both economically viable and environmentally sustainable?

  • What role does digital innovation play in fostering economic resilience, particularly in the face of disruptions such as pandemics, climate change, and market volatility?

  • How do human resource practices, operational strategies, and consumer behaviors contribute to long-term organizational and economic sustainability?

  Through a collection of empirically grounded and theoretically informed articles, this volume offers insights into the strategies, frameworks, and practices that enable businesses—from small enterprises to large corporations—to thrive in the digital age while contributing to sustainable development. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Green business models and circular economy initiatives

  • Digital transformation and its impact on operational resilience

  • Sustainable supply chain management and ethical consumerism

  • Workforce well-being, inclusive growth, and socially responsible HRM

  • Financial technologies (FinTech) and sustainable investment

  • Regional and sectoral case studies from emerging and developed economies

  By bridging theory and practice, this edition of IJECOMBA aims to inform academics, policymakers, and business leaders about the pathways toward a more sustainable and resilient economic future. We invite readers to engage with these discussions and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on building enterprises and economies that are not only prosperous but also equitable and regenerative.

  This issue also features research on service quality, employee welfare, and customer satisfaction in the hospitality sector—illustrating how micro-level business practices align with broader themes of sustainability and resilience.
