Hi Everyone:
The most recent issue of AMLE has several excellent articles that should be of interest to GDO members, who authored or are cited in many of the articles. The featured Exemplary Contribution, by Nancy Adler & Anne-Wil Harzing considers some of the many problems with journal ranking systems. Stella Nkomo and Mustafa Ozbilgin (GDO Executive Committee member) authored two of the five essays responding to Adler & Harzing, which make up a special section focusing on ranking.
This is the first issue published under AMLE's new editorial team. Charmine Hartel (GDO EC member) and I are two of the new Associate Editors. I edit the Essays, Dialogues, and Interviews section and encourage you to consider AMLE for your work on management learning and education. As is evident from the essays in this issue, essays are provocative, strongly argued critical commentaries or critiques. Dialogues are written in response to articles previously published in the journals. AMLE also includes a Research and Reviews section (for empirical and theoretical work or literature reviews), and book reviews.
Here are the articles and essays in the current issue.
When Knowledge Wins: Transcending the Sense and Nonsense of Academic Rankings, Nancy Adler & Anne-Wil Harzing
Sizing up the tyranny of the Ruler: Dipak Jain and Matt Golosinski
The Seductive Power of Academic Journal Rankings: Challenges of Searching for the Otherwise, Stella Nkomo
From Journal Rankings to Making Sense of the World, Mustafa Ozbilgin
Academic Rankings in Research Institutions: A Case of Skewed Mindsets and Professional Amnesia, Robert A. Giacalone
Assessing Business Scholarship: the Difficulties in Moving Beyond the Rigor-Relevance Paradigm Trap, Dan Worrell
Happy reading.
Best,
Myrtle
