[AISWorld] CFP for Management and Business Review (MBR): Supported by Leading Business Schools

[Mithas, Sunil]

Dear Colleagues,

Greetings!  I am sending this message announcing an exciting initiative and
CFP on behalf of the EICs of MBR: Dr Wallace J. Hopp (former EIC of
Management Science and Dr Kalyan Singhal (EIC Production and Operations
Management) .

*************

We are happy to announce the upcoming launch of a new journal, *Management
and Business Review* (MBR).  The goal of MBR is to bridge management
practice, education, and research, and thereby enhance all three.  With a
targeted readership of managers, students, and professors, this effort will
increase the impact of academic research on organizations.  Visit our
website www.mbrjournal.com

In contrast with *Harvard Business Review*, the *Sloan Management Review*,
and the *California Management Review*, each of which is published by a
single business school, MBR is the result of a grassroots initiative with a
wide participation by many leading schools.  The attached plan, which is
also available at the link below, gives the details of this initiative.

.

MBR has 123 advisors, including editors of prominent research journals and
11 professors from Wharton; eight from Harvard; six each from Dartmouth and
MIT; five each from Carnegie Mellon; four each from North Carolina and
Stanford; three each from Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, London Business
School, Northwestern, and UCLA; and two each from California at Berkeley,
Georgia State, Imperial College, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, NYU, and
Ohio State.  21 of the advisors will also serve as autonomous departmental
editors.  Please see the details in the attached plan.

Advisors also include executives from Accenture, Alidade, Ashridge
Strategic Management Centre, Bain & Company, Deloitte, Good Growth Capital,
Mercer, and Monitor Deloitte who have published best-selling books for
executives and articles in the journals like the *Harvard Business Review.*

MBR’s editors-in-chief are

   - Wallace J. Hopp, Distinguished University Professor and Associate
   Dean, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan (former
   Editor-in-Chief, *Management Science*)
   - Kalyan Singhal, McCurdy Professor of Innovation and Supply-Chain
   Management, Merrick School of Business, University of Baltimore
   (Editor-in-Chief, *Production and Operations Management*)

We request you to share this communication with your colleagues in your
organization or elsewhere and in turn ask them to share it with their
colleagues in their organization and elsewhere.  We hope that this would
lead to a viral dissemination of the communication.

We invite you to nominate yourself or your colleagues for the journal’s
editorial team subject to the eligibility criteria stated in the attached
plan.  We also invite everyone to become a part of this initiative by
registering at www.mbrjournal.com
<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mbrjournal.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7Csmithas%40usf.edu%7Ce45bddb90a12424ab42808d64cec3c5d%7C741bf7dee2e546df8d6782607df9deaa%7C0%7C0%7C636780975744557212&sdata=qcBCzo%2FXysg1i77Rzby8yQaeQXUoQDLKsCPgOJUVn0w%3D&reserved=0>
to receive the first issue of the journal and share more information on MBR.
Schools that subscribe to MBR for all students will be listed as *Partner
Schools* in MBR.  Similarly, companies that subscribe to MBR for all
executives will be listed as *Partner Companies *in MBR.  A partner school
or a partner company may also request its own customized edition of the
journal for its constituents.  The attached plan describes more details of
this opportunity.
