Dear Reader,
The last issue of 2016 was be the last issue of the Nordic Journal of Business available in printed form.

Given the universally declining role of printed journals in the process scholarly communication and the financial imperatives involved with print versions, The Association of Business Schools Finland has decided to continue the development of the Journal in a strictly electronic form as a peer-reviewed open access journal. In the future, the Nordic Journal of Business is committed to being a pure open access journal without submission fees, subscription fees, or any article processing charges. More information and all content can be found here at www.njb.fi.
If you want to receive notifications of NJB’s new issues in the future, please send a subscription e-mail to editor (at) njb.
