Dear Colleague,

Greetings! We are happy to announce the upcoming launch of a new journal, Management and Business Review (MBR). The goal of MBR is to bridge management practice, education, and research, and thereby enhance all three. With a targeted readership of managers, students, and professors, this effort will increase the impact of academic research on organizations. Visit our website www.mbrjournal.com http://www.mbrjournal.com/ In contrast with Harvard Business Review, the Sloan Management Review, and the California Management Review, each of which is published by a single business school, MBR is the result of a grassroots initiative with a wide participation by many leading schools. The link below, gives the details of this initiative https://sites.temple.edu/subodha/files/2018/11/MBR_Plan.pdf https://sites.temple.edu/subodha/files/2018/11/MBR_Plan.pdf. MBR has 123 advisors, including editors of prominent research journals and 11 professors from Wharton; eight from Harvard; six each from Dartmouth and MIT; five each from Carnegie Mellon; four each from North Carolina and Stanford; three each from Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, London Business School, Northwestern, and UCLA; and two each from California at Berkeley, Georgia State, Imperial College, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, NYU, and Ohio State. 21 of the advisors will also serve as autonomous departmental editors. Please see the details in the attached plan.

Advisors also include executives from Accenture, Alidade, Ashridge Strategic Management Centre, Bain & Company, Deloitte, Good Growth Capital, Mercer, and Monitor Deloitte who have published best-selling books for executives and articles in the journals like the Harvard Business Review. MBR’s editors-in-chief are

Wallace J. Hopp, Distinguished University Professor and Associate Dean, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan (former Editor-in-Chief, Management Science) Kalyan Singhal, McCurdy Professor of Innovation and Supply-Chain Management, Merrick School of Business, University of Baltimore (Editor-in-Chief, Production and Operations Management) We request you to share this communication with your colleagues in your organization or elsewhere and in turn ask them to share it with their colleagues in their organization and elsewhere. We hope that this would lead to a viral dissemination of the communication.

We invite you to nominate yourself or your colleagues for the journal’s editorial team subject to the eligibility criteria stated in the attached plan. We also invite everyone to become a part of this initiative by registering at www.mbrjournal.com http://www.mbrjournal.com/ so that we can send them the first issue of the journal and share with them more information on MBR.

Schools that subscribe to MBR for all students will be listed as Partner Schools in MBR. Similarly, companies that subscribe to MBR for all executives will be listed as Partner Companies in MBR. A partner school or a partner company may also request its own customized edition of the journal for its constituents. The attached plan describes more details of this opportunity.

Yours truly, Kalyan Kalyan Singhal Editor-in-chief, Production and Operations Management Co-editor-in-chief, Management and Business Review McCurdy Professor of Operations Management Merrick School of Business, University of Baltimore
