Dear All (apologies for cross-posting),
The International Journal of Organizational Analysis will be adding two new Associate Editor Positions to the journal. Our current Associate Editors, Mariann Jelinek and Ken Mackenzie, have done an outstanding job, but the workload is just too much for the three of us. We need help sending papers out for review, soliciting good manuscripts, coordinating special issues, communicating with authors, and other things. It would be nice to have someone from outside the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>, but that is not a requirement. Mostly, we want people who are already well published and well established, and that have the time and energy to commit to the journal. Typically, an Associate Editor will have considerable experience at both publishing and reviewing, will have served as an outside reviewer for a few journals and very likely on a few Editorial Boards, and is tenured. If you have an interest or if you know of someone who does, please let us know right away. You can write to me at larry.pate@gmail.com, to Ken at hologram@sunflower.com, or to Mariann at sammantine1@cox.net.
We will also be adding a new Book Review Editor, so please let us know if this might interest any of you. I'm pleased to announce that Joe Champoux, from the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">New Mexico</st1:placename></st1:place>, has joined us as our Film Review Editor. As you may know, Joe is a leader in the use of film in the classroom.
The IJOA Editorial Board includes some of the top scholars in the world from Harvard, Yale, MIT, INSEAD, McGill, Berkeley, Michigan, Wharton, Northwestern, Duke, Illinois, Cornell, Queensland, Lancaster, Bath, Amsterdam, and other leading universities. People like Bob Zmud, Founding Editor of Organization Science; Jerry Hunt, former Editor of Leadership Quarterly; Dave Whetten, former Editor of Academy of Management Review; and Phil Anderson, currently an Associate Editor at Administrative Science Quarterly. Our standards are high. We are looking for articles that break new ground, offer a new theory or methodological advance, provide a new synthesis of competing theories, or open up a new area of research. We, therefore, give preference to articles that establish new lines of inquiry, redirect exhausted or unproductive lines to more promising lines, and shut down those heavy on method but light on consequences. Mostly, we prefer vigor over rigor. Send us your best manuscripts for publication consideration.
Finally, while I'm writing, I'll also attach my Editorial from one of the 2006 back issues. It gives some history of the journal and talks about where we're going.
All the best,
Larry Pate, Editor-in-Chief
