    JME's Mission and Editorial Policy:
    -----------------------------------
    For those of you who do not have easy access to JME, I summarize below the
    key points appearing in my editorial essay (JME, 1998, 1: 6-8).

    JME is the premier academic journal in the field of management education,
    providing a worldwide forum for the advancement of teaching and learning
    in the management disciplines. From its informal beginnigs in 1975 as a
    handtyped newsletter shared among colleagues, and through its growth and
    transition from Exchange, and the Organizational Behavior Teaching Review,
    JME has matured into a respected academic journal, becoming one of Sage
    Publications' fastest growing professional periodicals. JME welcomes
    contributions from management educators in all disciplines, institutions, and
    levels who seek to reflect on their professional practice, engage readers in
    explorations of what or how to teach, and deepen the connections between
    teaching and learning.

    JME shapes thought and action about management education in ways that have
    meaningful consequence:
    * By impacting the actions of individual instructors and students
    of management through the use of materials published in JME,

    * By impacting the intellectual community of scholars through the
    discovery of new ideas, innovative methods, and new ways of
    understanding the consequences of pedagogy, and

    * By impacting educational policy and practice through articles that
    spur rethinking and reorganization of the fundamental institutions
    and enterprise of management education.

    JME articles display variety in content and format. Contributors may be
    conceptual or empirical in nature; full length articles or shorter thought
    and activity pieces; commentaries that challenge existing policies and
    arrangements; applications that provide solutions to commonly shared teaching
    dilemmas; sharings of personal experiences or teaching materials; research
    findings that directly impact teaching and learning; and reviews of relevant
    books, videos, software, cases, or nontraditional instructional materials
    that have been adapted for and successfully tested in the management classroom.
    Innovative methodologies, transboundary scholarship, and work that has appeal
    to a globakl and multi-cultural audience are encouraged. The common threads
    holding together these diverse elements and guiding editorial decisions are
    two overriding questions: Will this piece make a meaningful and innovative
    contribution to thinking and practice in management education, and Will this
    piece invite more deep and open thinking about the connections between
    teaching and learning in the management disciplines?

    JME is staffed by two Associate Editors - Cynthia Fukami (University of
    Denver) and Jeff Mello (Golden Gate University).

    JME is committed to developing the scholarly abilities and confidence of
    contributing authors and reviewers. JME is committed to employing the
    review process as learning and teaching opportunities for authors and
    reviewers.
