Dear Colleagues
Members of the International Association of Business & Society (IABS) are invited to submit nominations, including self-nominations, for the position of Editor or Co-Editor of Business & Society for the three-year term commencing in January 2015.
Business & Society was first published in 1960 and is now in its 53rd year. It is peer-reviewed and published quarterly. It is the official journal of the International Association for Business and Society (IABS) and has an impact factor of 1.022 as of 2011 (Journal Citation Reports, 2013). Business & Society publishes original research relating to business ethics, corporate social responsibility, business-government relations, corporate governance, corporate social performance, and environmental-management issues.
While traditionally the editorial responsibilities of Business & Society have been met by the appointment of a single Editor, the IABS board welcomes nominations from/for candidates potentially interested in a sole Editorship or participating in a team of Co-Editors who together would exercise editorial control of the journal. The new editorial arrangements should be in place by January 2015 (Volume 54, Issue 1), with some transition and issue preparation occurring during the latter stages of 2014. The Editorial term is three years. The outgoing Editor will manage the current pipeline of submissions, and facilitate the transition to the new editorial situation. The new Editor(s) will be selected by IABS and confirmed by Sage.
The new Editor(s) will be responsible for crafting and maintaining the strategic direction of Business & Society and co-ordinating the submission and publication process. Typically two of the four issues per year are Special Issues, and the new Editor(s) will be responsible for actively soliciting and managing special issue editors and topics. The new Editor(s) will be supported by an active Editorial Board and a structure of topic-related Associate Editors.
Full details of the nomination process are contained in the accompanying document.
Informal conversations to seek further information are welcome and encouraged. Please contact Dr. Colin Higgins, Chair of the Selection Committee by email: c.higgins@deakin.edu.au.
Submissions should be in MSWord or PDF format. Nominations must be received by email by Friday 7 June. Completed nominations should be forwarded to Colin Higgins c.higgins@deakin.edu.au Meetings with short-listed candidates will be conducted at the 2013 meeting of the Academy of Management.
Kind regards
Colin Higgins
