The PROCURATIO invites manuscripts in the areas of finance, international business, management strategy, marketing, economics, risk, accounting, agribusiness and insurance. The PROCURATIO accepts articles in any business related subjects and any research methodology that meet the standards established for publication in the journal. The primary, but not exclusive, audiences are academicians, graduate students, practitioners, and others interested in business research. The primary criterion for publication in PROCURATIO is the significance of the contribution an article makes to the literature in management and business area, i.e., the significance of the contribution and on the rigor of analysis and presentation of the paper. The acceptance decision is made based upon an independent review process that provides critically constructive and prompt evaluations of submitted manuscripts.
