The School of International Business and Entrepreneurship (SIBE), the Graduate School for Leadership and Management at Steinbeis University, and Springer Gabler have jointly published the first article in the new Open Access journal “Leadership, Education, Personality: An Interdisciplinary Journal”. The interdisciplinary journal is aimed both at a broad scientific readership and at opinion leaders and managers from business practice. The journal articles are partly published in English and partly in German. Editor-in-Chief of the new journal is Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. Werner G. Faix. All articles are scientifically examined by double blind review and can be read immediately by everyone free of charge on the platform Springer left.

The journal concerns itself with the terms guidance, education and personality as well as with the fields of tension, which result from their combination. Thus the magazine offers a comprehensive and versatile view of the research objects, so that contributions from all scientific disciplines can be submitted. In addition, practical reports from business, politics or society are published and demonstrate a transfer-oriented orientation. Thematic and special issues offer the opportunity to focus on individual focal points. The first special issue will be published in the autumn of this year and a symposium on “Leadership in a Digital World” will be held in Stuttgart on November 22th, 2019 – the call for submissions has already been issued. The publication fees (APCs – Article Processing Charges) for accepted contributions in “Leadership, Education, Personality: An Interdisciplinary Journal” are borne by the SIBE. No further fees (Submission Charges) are charged for the submission and processing of articles.

“With this interdisciplinary Open Access Journal for Leadership, Education and Personality, Springer Gabler will further expand its role as an important specialist publisher in the business world,” says Andreas Funk, Editorial Director Business Economics at Springer Nature, pleased with the new cooperation with SIBE. After all, leadership, personality and education are not only important cornerstones in every company, but also an essential element in Springer Gabler’s programmatic orientation.

The Managing Director of SIBE and SISP and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal, Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. Werner G. Faix, confirms: “The topics of leadership, education and personality are the focus of our research and teaching. Great importance is attached to the interdisciplinary and transfer-oriented consideration of terms that are relevant to all areas of society. And since research results in these fields are not only of interest to the scientific community, we are particularly pleased about the opportunity to make the journal available to a broad readership at Springer Gabler as an Open Access publication.
