JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT CALL FOR PROPOSALS
REVIEW ISSUE
The editorial board of the Journal of Management would like to invite
authors to submit proposals for the 2007 Review Issue. Articles for the
Review Issue tend be high-impact scholarly surveys of important research
literatures. They summarize recent research, provide integrations of
management literatures, and highlight important directions for future
inquiries. The Review Issue is open to all areas of management. This
includes manuscripts pertaining to such disciplines as strategy, human
resource management, organizational behavior, organizational theory, and
research methods.
Proposals should be submitted as an e-mail attachment to Anne Pentland at
annep@email.arizona.edu. Proposals should contain no more than five to ten
pages of text and be double-spaced. An appendix containing example
references that will be included in the final manuscript is appropriate,
but not required. References, tables, and appendices do not count against
the aforementioned page limit. All proposals will be subject to editorial
review. Submissions will be evaluated with respect to the following
criteria:
(a) Relevance. The proposed manuscript should thoroughly review a
significant and important research area within the organizational sciences.
(b) Viability. The proposal should represent an achievable project within
the tight time constraints required. More detail on the timeline is
provided below.
(c) Scope of Interest. Papers of broad interest to scholars in a variety of
specialty areas are greatly preferred.
(d) Organization and Coherence. The proposal should follow a logical
structure, read clearly, and thoroughly represent the available research.
(e) Insight for Future Work. The proposal should convey important
implications for future management scholars.
Due to editorial constraints, it is vital for authors to adhere to the
following strict timeline. We will not be able to accept late submissions.

July 30, 2006: Proposals due to the Journal of Management at
annep@email.arizona.edu.
