I am delighted to announce a number of new
appointments to the editorial team. Professors
Bob Berry (University of Nottingham), John
Bessant (CENTRIM, University of Brighton),
Martin Kilduff (Penn State University) and Harry
Scarborough (University of Leicester) have been
appointed as Associate Editors.
Two of these appointments (Harry and John)
are to replace John Burgoyne and Howard
Thomas, whose terms of office have expired. We
are grateful to both Howard and John for their
commitment to the journal and we wish them well
as they move on to new ventures. Particular
thanks are due to John Burgoyne who has served
as an Associate Editor from the BJM’s inception.
Including the start up year, this makes a twelve-
year stint in total.
An organisation theorist with a background in
psychology and sociology, Martin will undertake
the vital role previously performed by Howard, a
US ambassador for the journal as a whole. Harry
will process manuscripts in the field of knowledge
and learning (broadly conceived), together with
behavioural aspects of technology management
and innovation, while John Bessant will cover
technology and innovation management more
generally, together with papers in the field of
operations management. Bob will handle papers
in the area of accounting and finance, spanning
both technical and behavioural aspects. Richard
Elliot, Ewan Ferlie and Richard Whittington will
continue to deal respectively with papers in the
areas of marketing, public sector/not for profit
organisations and strategic management.
These latest appointments have increased the
total complement of Associate Editors to seven.
The fact that they have been carefully drawn from
a wide range of base disciplines and functional
backgrounds, further strengthens our capacity to
process manuscripts from across the full range of
areas that constitute the diverse field of business
and management studies.
It also gives me great pleasure to announce
another addition to the team: Professor Denis
Smith (University of Sheffield) joins us as Books
Review Editor. Under Denis’s leadership, the
BJM will solicit and publish two distinctive types
of book review: Extended Review Essays, in which
a scholar is invited to critically evaluate one or
more major new works in the broader context of
the surrounding literature, and Perspectives, an
initiative involving the publication of a series of
2–3 shorter reviews of a common work, commis-
sioned from established researchers, who are
known to hold contrasting views on the subject
matter in question.
