Poslovna izvrsnost – Business Excellence is an international, a double-anonymized peer review scholarly journal that publishes theoretical and empirical research on business performance, quality, and organizational excellence across sectors and regional contexts, with a specific emphasis on the application and evolution of globally recognized frameworks within Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
The Journal focuses on how established frameworks such as EFQM, ISO-based quality systems, ESG standards, and lean methodologies are applied and embedded through leadership, organizational learning, and digital transformation. It welcomes both conceptual and empirical studies. Emphasis is placed on work that demonstrates how such frameworks enhance organizational performance, quality, and sustained excellence across diverse sectors.
We welcome submissions addressing both private and public organizations across sectors including manufacturing, services, public administration, healthcare, education, energy, finance, and digital platforms.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
Research on technology-enabled change in organizations and innovation ecosystems: organizational readiness for AI, strategic deployment of digital platforms, and cross-sectoral innovations.
Design, implementation, and adaptation of performance systems and excellence models across sectors, with attention to strategy execution, value creation, measurement, and frameworks such as EFQM.
Leadership behavior, learning processes, talent systems, and organizational culture as drivers of performance and transformation.
Development, integration, and impact of quality systems, sustainability alignment, governance, and effects of standards and audits.
Research on how organizations conceptualize, and implement sustainability and ESG responsibilities: strategy, the design and development of new ESG frameworks, and organizational capabilities for responsible business.
We welcome empirical and conceptual research that demonstrates analytical depth and contextual relevance. This includes quantitative, qualitative, comparative, case-based, and mixed-methods approaches. The Journal encourages interdisciplinary perspectives and cross-domain insights.
The Journal is intended for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers interested in these areas, particularly those working within or focusing on the CEE context.
