FROM THE EDITORS:THE NEXT THREE YEARS AT AM/-MAINTAINING THE MISSION WHILE EXPANDING THE JOURNAL

摘要

With this issue, the 19th editorial team in the venerable history of Academy of Management Journal formally takes its place on the masthead. Our team inherits a journal that is thriving in a number of respects. Submissions continue to rise, with 2010 setting a new record of over 1,100 manuscripts received. Impact remains strong, with AM] continuing to place near the top of ISI Web of Knowledge's one- and five-year impact factor ratings for management journals. Reviews of journal quality and influence continue to illustrate that AM] publishes high-quality articles that make strong contributions to management (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Bachrach, & Podsakoff, 2005; Singh, Haddad, & Chow, 2007). Finally, citation patterns suggest that findings from AM] articles get disseminated into practitioner journals, science-based popular business books, undergraduate textbooks, and other outlets that more directly reach practicing managers.
