Journal of Business Continuity & Emergency Planning is the leading professional journal publishing peer-reviewed articles and case studies by expert business continuity and emergency managers.
Published quarterly and guided by an expert Editorial Board of leading corporate and public sector managers, each 100 page issue combines provocative thought-leadership pieces – which expand what can be achieved with business continuity and emergency management – with detailed, actionable advice and ‘lessons learned’ from fellow professionals, showing how plans have been specified, designed, implemented, tested and updated, as well as how they have responded in practice to interruptions, emergencies and exercises.
Each article provides practical, intellectually rigorous analysis of best practice, innovative techniques and new thinking in key business issues – not technical minutiae – with no advertorial and little or no advertising. In addition to improving management practice, the Journal supports practitioners in demonstrating to the boardroom the contribution which effective preparedness can and does make towards organisational goals.
