About the GBR Journal

The Graziadio Business Review (GBR) is an online journal that delivers relevant business information and analysis for business, government, and non-profit managers. Since 1998, the GBR has been providing practical information on dealing with business situations and problems. GBR authors translate the latest academic research and analysis into practical applications for business. Articles feature an applied focus and usually answer the “So what?” question.

We are a publication of the Graziadio School of Business and Management of Pepperdine University, which is accredited by AACSB International—the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

The GBR has partnered with EBSCO Publishing to make new issues  available through EBSCO Online, one of the leading search platforms for full-text online research databases in institutions worldwide. The GBR is also featured in Cabell’s Online Directory of Publishing Opportunities in Management.

The Graziadio Business Review is a CASE 2006 Silver Award winner.
