TEC Empresarial is an open access quarterly journal owned and published by the School of Business, Costa Rica Institute of Technology (TEC), that publishes scientific research on management and business economics. TEC Empresarial is a double-blinded peer-review journal that includes within its scope areas of management related to entrepreneurship, strategic management, and innovation as well as different aspects of business related to finance, accounting, economics, marketing and operations. We welcome scientific studies at different levels of analysis: individuals, groups of individuals, organizations, and territories. The journal is committed to publishing studies that make use of a diverse range of research methods and we welcome original research using statistical techniques, qualitative data, experiments (field or lab), non-parametric methods, and mathematical models.

TEC Empresarial publishes original studies based on quantitative or qualitative data, as well as shorter papers that address a specific issue or question. Editorial comments, conceptual work, and invited contributions on practices and developments in the fields of management and business economics appear from time to time as warranted by new developments. Review articles (i.e., bibliometric studies, systematic reviews, meta-analysis) are not considered for publication in TEC Empresarial.

By disseminating scientific studies to a broad audience of academics, researchers, policy makers, and business practitioners, TEC Empresarial seeks to provide a communication forum that contributes to a better understanding of management and business economics. Manuscripts accepted for publication at TEC Empresarial must be original, must meet the high standards of rigor set by the journal, and must offer a relevant contribution to the communities of management and business economics scholars, practitioners, and policy makers.
