Letter from the Editor
by Maryann Albrecht
Just a few quick reminders:
1. Next
year our conference is April 19-21, 2002 in Indianapolis, IN at the Radisson
Hotel City Centre. Joy Peluchette from the University of Southern
Indiana is the Program Chair. Start writieng and revising - submissions will
be due Oct. 21, 2001.
2. We’ve
started a new journal, Contemporary Issues in Management which
will include scholarly and innovative ideas in the management disciplines. We
plan to have articles covering theory, research, teaching and cases as well
as a special section for Ph.d. seminar work. The first issue (hopefully in
late August) will contain invited papers from leaders in the discipline. A
second will focus on Globalization with George M. Puia as Guest Editor.
More news about the journal will be up on our website in a few weeks. Contact
me at Maryann@uic.edu if you have
questions about the journal.
3. Look
below for pictures from the convention, a great reminder of a terrific,
fun-filled and intellectually rewarding meeting!

Best Graduate Student Paper award.
Who can resist a little clowning
around after a successful meeting? Certainly
not Nancy or Rob, and who is that man with
the googly eyes?

The
clown helped to maintain the “juggling” theme during the breaks.
Your illustrious board members
and executive committee. (I’m
protecting the names of all those with red noses.)
 
BYE, SEE YOU IN INDIANAPOLIS
IN 2001!
