Description:
Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of
transport management
such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising,
privatisation and commercialisation.
Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed
volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary
for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced
to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development
of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal's audience, we seek to contribute
to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice.
Potential volume themes include:
- Sustainability
and Transportation Management
- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport's Carbon Footprint
- Marketing
Transport/Branding Transportation
- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations
- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations
- Logistics and the
Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains
- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance
or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes
- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance
- Reliability in the
Freight Sector
