GDO Colleagues:
I've attached the latest (July, 2007) Table of Contents for
Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes (OBHDP). There are
several articles for your consuming pleasure. Each is certified
organically grown and hand-picked from our worldwide idea garden. Toss
them with some snap peas, wild mushrooms, and a Pinot Grigio to open
your next barbecue.
If your institution subscribes to ScienceDirect, each of the hotlinked
abstracts below is available in pdf full text. The hotlink might take
you there directly if you're at an on-campus IP address. Note that the
links might be split across separate lines in your e-mail client and
need to be reassembled in your browser. As always, apologies for
cross-postings.
This will be my final chance to divert your attentions to OBHDP articles
via e-mail. My term as Editor is ending soon and I'm stepping aside
while John Schaubroeck from Drexel University steps forward. If I
follow the paths suggested by authors whose work I've rejected, you may
see me
(a) crawl back into the block of ice from which I was unfrozen,
(b) get back to scrubbing the bathroom floor with kittens, or
(c) seek out some industrial-strength therapy.
For the particularly devilish out there, I"m sure (d) "all of the above"
is a viable option too.
Thanks for keeping me out of your spam folder.
Dave

is the sound of my little girl laughing,
through the window of a summer night."
