The ABAC Journal Announces Call for Papers for a Special Issue

We are pleased to announce a SPECIAL ISSUE of the ABAC Journal, the esteemed academic publication of Assumption University (AU), the first international university in Thailand. Founded in 1980, the ABAC Journal holds the distinction of being the first academic journal of AU, which was then known as Assumption Business Administration College. Despite the university's subsequent name change to Assumption University in 1990, the legacy of ABAC remains deeply cherished among alumni and friends.

The ABAC Journal serves as an international platform for interdisciplinary discourse, focusing on current research and best practices in business management and related social sciences. The editorial team invites scholars and researchers from around the world to contribute to their upcoming special issue, which seeks to broaden the scope of the journal and offer a platform for sharing knowledge beyond the regular issue boundaries.

The special issue, scheduled for Vol. 43 No. 4 (Oct-Dec, 2023), promises to be a noteworthy addition to the ABAC Journal for several reasons. In terms of content, the editorial team is expanding the scope of the upcoming issue to include contributions from the fields of education, language & literature studies. These topics are not typically featured in their regular issues, but they are now accepting content in these areas for this special issue.

Regarding methodology, the editorial team particularly welcomes articles that utilize Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) or its applications as a part of their research methodology. However, this does not restrict the acceptance of other methodological approaches. (see "Call for Papers" in ANNOUNCEMENT No.2 on journal website).

Manuscripts exploring Asian herbal products, the plant-based health & wellness industry, sports tourism and management are highly encouraged.

To ensure the highest level of excellence, the editorial team is collaborating with esteemed Guest Editors and Guest Editorial Board who will diligently screen and review all manuscripts submitted to this special issue. Join the ABAC Journal in expanding the horizons of business, education, language and literature studies through this special issue.
