Scholarly interest in social business has evolved beyond an initial focus on definitions and contextual settings toward the examination of its formation, management, global variations, and the creation of social value. In this journal, we invite researchers and practitioners to examine the phenomenon of social business and submit their research to SBJ.

Given that the scientific development of social business still involves many unexplored dimensions within the national academic community, the primary objective of this quarterly journal is to provide an intellectual platform for researchers to discuss and disseminate their latest findings related to social business. Accordingly, the journal aims to encourage knowledge sharing across disciplines, leading to stronger and more robust scholarship in this field.

By publishing scientific–research articles derived from rigorous research, the journal seeks to identify challenges ranging from theory development to the practical implementation of social business models, and to introduce innovative scientific and applied approaches for addressing these challenges. Furthermore, the journal aspires to enhance the state of social business research in Iran and globally by offering solutions to both theoretical and practical issues within this interdisciplinary and multifaceted domain.

In light of national policy documents and existing legal frameworks, the purposeful revitalization of corporate social responsibility in Iran provides a suitable foundation for the implementation of social business. Conducting scientific research and disseminating research outcomes in the field of social business can contribute to the effective institutionalization of corporate social responsibility. Accordingly, this journal serves as an appropriate platform for presenting social business models in Iran and, at the international level, for engagement and utilization by researchers and scholars interested in this field.
