Why Here, Why Now: The Genesis Of A Native American Business Journal, Daniel Stewart

Indigenous Business & Public Administration

IBAPA is the culmination of a decades-long journey in which there has been much progress in the development of Native American economies, but still rather modest progress in the development of Native American academic theory in the fields of business and public administration. There are multiple reasons why academic progress has been sluggish. One of the primary reasons is the lack of business professors who publish research about our community. This journal seeks to address this problem straight on. The editorial provides background on our purpose.
