On behalf of the Business and Society Editorial Selection Committee and the Board of Directors of the International Association for Business and Society, it is our privilege and pleasure to announce that a new editorial team has been selected for Business and Society beginning in January 2020. The new editorial team of this Sage journal consists of a distinguished group of four professors at Rutgers University; Michael Barnett (Professor of Management and Global Business), who will serve as Editor-in-Chief, and Joanne Ciulla (Professor and Director of the Institute for Ethical Leadership), Danielle Warren (Associate Professor of Management and Global Business), and Ted Baker (Professor and George F. Farris Chair in Entrepreneurship), who will serve as Senior Editors. In making this announcement we would like to express our appreciation to all those who expressed an interest in serving. We would also like to express appreciation for the Rutgers Business School and its dean, Lei Lei, for their commitment of support for the editors, in terms of administrative support, time, and financial support, so that they can do the work necessary to continue the journal on its upward climb.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the current editorial team for the wonderful work they have performed during the past several years, as well as the work they will continue to perform through next year. Andrew Crane, Irene Henriques, Bryan Husted, Frank de Bakker, and Dirk Matten (former editorial team member) have provided tremendous leadership in moving the journal to new heights in all important aspects of an academic journal.
The editorial teams will begin the transition of editorial duties in July of 2019 with a transfer of responsibility in January 2020. All of us hope that you will each continue to consider Business and Society for your most important work.
Sincerely,
Brad Agle, IABS Immediate Past President and Chair, Business and Society Editorial Selection Committee
