    Editorial Search

    Journal of Management

     

     

    The Southern Management Association is searching for a qualified individual to serve as Editor of the Journal of Management from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014.  The individual will become Editor-Elect and begin accepting manuscripts July 1, 2011.

     

    Nominations and Questions:

     

    If you have questions about the responsibilities of serving as Editor, you are encouraged to contact any member of the search committee:

     

    Allen C. Amason, University of Georgia

    Talya Bauer, Portland State University

    Russell Cropanzano, University of Arizona

    Terri Scandura, University of Miami

    Chris Shook, Auburn University

     

    Information for Candidates:

     

    The Journal of Management (http://jom.sagepub.com) is among the elite journals in the field of management.  As such, it receives over 900 submissions per year, at present.  Serving as editor then requires both a commitment of time and good management skills.  Potential applicants are encouraged to consider arrangements that would help with the workload.  We have also worked to reduce the administrative burden through the use of an electronic submissions and paper management platform.

     

    The SMA and the Journal of Management have historically benefitted from a cooperative arrangement between the Association and the Editor's home institution.  The SMA supports the editorial operation by paying the direct costs associated with running a top journal.  These costs include such things as:

    ·         Copy editor and proof readers;

    ·         Office expenses, including supplies, telephone, copying and publications;

    ·         Travel to support the journal;

    ·         Editorial board meetings at the Academy of Management and SMA,

    ·         Part-time administrative support.

     

    Home institutions have traditionally provided additional support including:

    ·         Reduced teaching assignments;

    ·         Summer salary stipend for the editor;

    ·         Graduate assistants or student workers;

    ·         Administrative support

    ·         Technology support and office space

     

    To apply

     

    Candidates should submit:

    ·         a current curriculum vitae;

    ·         a letter of interest in which they discuss:

    o    a statement of goals for the journal that includes any proposed changes or innovations;

    o    a discussion of how the office will be organized and managed, including details about co-editors, consulting editors, associate editors, or other alternative structures if appropriate;

    o    previous organization/management experience, technology expertise, editorial experience;

    o    a discussion of the financial support provided by the host institution; and

    ·         a letter from their Dean certifying the level and amount of support that the institution will provide.

     

    These materials need to be received by the search committee no later than September 30, 2010.  Interviews of the finalists will be conducted on October 27th, at the annual meeting of the SMA, in St. Petersburg Beach, FL.    Please submit the two letters and c.v. via e-mail to: aamason@terry.uga.edu
