Submission Process:

• Authors must submit manuscripts electronically via the SUJSB submission portal.

• If you encounter issues with the online portal, submissions may be sent directly to sujsb@su.edu.om in MS Word format.

• Submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Preparation of Manuscripts:

• Manuscripts should be prepared in Microsoft Word, formatted in A4 size, with standard margins, using 12-point Times New Roman font and single line spacing.

• The total length of the manuscript should not exceed 10,000 words, including all components such as text, tables, figures, footnotes, and appendices.

• All submissions must be in English. Authors are responsible for the linguistic and grammatical quality of their submissions.

• Use a maximum of three levels of boldfaced headings for organization. The body text should be in normal font.

• All tables and figures must be numbered consecutively and include appropriate captions. High-resolution images are required, and visual aids should fit within the specified margins. Do not submit Tables and Figures separately. If any table or figure is derived from previously published resources, authors must obtain and provide proof of permission to use them in their manuscript. This ensures compliance with copyright laws and ethical publishing standards.

Manuscript Structure:

• Title Page: This page should include the paper's title, the names of the authors (excluding academic titles such as Dr. or Prof.), their affiliations, and email addresses. Clearly indicate the corresponding author to ensure proper communication during the review process.

• Abstract: Submit an abstract of no more than 200-250 words along with 4-6 keywords that accurately reflect the paper's content. The abstract should explicitly and briefly explain the purpose of the study, the design/methods used, the results obtained, and the originality (novelty/contributions) of the work.

• Main Text: Organize the main text with an introductory section, followed by the main body divided into sections as necessary. Conclude with a section titled "Conclusions." Use a clear and concise writing style to facilitate readability. Ensure that the main document does not contain any identifiable information about the authors or their institutions to maintain the integrity of the double-blind review process.

• Implications for Sustainable Business Practices: Authors are advised to include a section titled "Implications for Sustainable Practices" dedicated to explaining the implications drawn from the study's findings that help managers ensure sustainable business practices.

• Font and Spacing: The entire manuscript should be typed in 12-point Times New Roman font, black color, and should be single-spaced to ensure clarity and a compact presentation.

• References: Adhere strictly to the APA 7th edition format for all references and in-text citations. Ensure that all references cited in the text are listed at the end of the document, maintaining comprehensive and accurate citation practices.
