摘要

Welcome to No. 2 in Vol. 26 oiJHOM. In keeping with our ongoing development of the journal we are pleased to introduce a new section, "New Perspectives", which provides coverage of new ideas, critiques and debates surrounding organisation and -management issues. This section is edited by Ross Millar (University of Birmingham) and is designed around three "types" of papers: (1) Review: a critical and rigorous analysis of a publication or publications on a topic relevant to healthcare (e.g. "markets", "lean", "service improvement"). The review can draw on sources from either inside and outside of health organization and management research or that may have gone "under the radar" of health related disciplines (e.g. the wider management arena, organisation studies, public administration, public policy analysis, sociology of health). The review is likely to be of a recent publication; however, it can also be something that has been previously influential and warrants further attention. We also encourage reviews of methodological publications that analyse critically the potential of a particular approach to the study of health organisation and management.
