Sea-Jin Chang
Kumho Asiana Endowed Chair Professor of Strategy and International Business,
School of Business Administration, Korea University
Since its inception in 2002, ABM has established itself as an important outlet for academic researchers who are interested in Asian business and management. I can provide a testimony on the quality of published papers, which has been consistently maintained at a high level since its inauguration. All the papers that I reviewed for the ABM were of high quality, providing great insights on the management and business issues of business organizations in Asia. Recent issues feature works by great scholars in the field such as, but not limited to, Eleanor Westney and John Cantwell
Robert E.Cole
Professor Emeritus, UC Berkeley Dept of Sociology and Haas School of Business
I have been reviewing Asian Business & Management for some time now have been impressed by the growing quality of contributors and articles over time. The Editorial Board as well as the International Advisory Board indicate high quality standards. While I have focused on the Japan-related contributions since that is my field of specialty, the overall coverage of Asia is good and the topics covered, highly diversified but generally ones in which a wide readership is interested. This is a journal that fulfils an important role in Asian studies.
Ronald Dore
The Centre for Economic Performance,
London School of Economics and Political Science
Paralleling the growing demands for greater corporate social responsibility, there is a discernible shift under way in business studies, going beyond a narrow concern with competitiveness and profitability, towards greater concern for political and social contexts, using more complex models of the motivating forces in business behaviourABM has been in the forefront of that movement; and its quality has been consistently high. And all the truisms about the growing centrality of Asia in the world economy are, quite simply, true. It is one of the few journals that in these days of information overload I try consistently to read.
Chung-Ming Lau
Chairman/Professor, Department of Management, Chinese University of Hong Kong
Past-President, Asia Academy of Management
ABM is published by Palgrave Macmillan, a renowned international publisher. ABM has also established affiliations with a number of prestigious societies: in Japan, with the Japan Society of Business Administration and Japan Academy of Labour and Management; in the USA, with the Association of Japanese Business Studies; and in the Euro-Asia zone, with the Euro-Asia Management Studies Association. Those articles published in ABM have consistently followed its objectives and are of high quality. Authors have come from a wide range of international institutions, backgrounds and experience. I would say ABM has established its reputation in the academic community already.
Raymond Loveridge
Oxford Said Business School
Former Senior Editor, Human Relations
This journal has, in a relatively short period, established its own unique niche in the marketplace that differentiates it from older regionally focussed publications. I would see the scope of its content as being much wider than those of the latter, reflecting a broad cross-disciplinary approach to business in the community. It draws support in both readership and contributors from a range of social science perspectives in a way that reflects a current convergence in the comparative study of cross-national institutions, especially within business schools. Its methodological approach is extremely rigorous, but much more eclectic and historical in orientation than that adopted by its more quantitatively based rivals.
Gordon Redding
Director, Euro-Asia and Comparative Research Centre
INSEAD
This journal fills an important place in the set of outlets for research of a comparative nature in the field of business and social-economics more generally. Its Asian focus makes it increasingly relevant to the world of practice-via the developing of relevant theory - as world business practice increasingly turns to Asia for sourcing and partnering as well as marketing. A number of the regional journals reflect a largely local set of contributors and users, but this journal is more truly cosmopolitan.
Denise M. Rousseau
H.J.Heinz II Professor of Organization Behavior and Public Policy, Heinz School of Management, Carnegie Mellon University, Past president of Academy of Management, Editor-in-chief, Journal of Organizational Behavior
It is a major publication outlet for Asian management scholars including those active in the Academy of Management, the largest professional association of management scholars and professors. It has published quality work by scholars worldwide. It is peer-reviewed with the board that reflects both stature and experience in the field as well as a global focus. As the proportion of scholars from Asia increases, while journal pages in the current professional journals remain constrained, there is a shortage of appropriate outlets for otherwise high quality work—our profession needs ABM to continue to gain in stature as the volume of management research in Asia grows. It is in the interests of professions that are traditionally North American in focus, such as management and social science, to create broader access to high quality publication outlets.
