Abstract
It is with a sense of accomplishment that I am writing my last editorial as Editor-inChief of Asia Pacific Journal of Management, the position I have held since January of 2010, after having been senior editor since 2007. I followed Mike Peng of the University of Texas at Dallas, who was very instrumental, along with previous Chief Editors Andrew Delios and Kulwant Singh, both of the National University of Singapore (NUS), in making APJM an internationally recognized scholarly journal. Under their tutelage, APJM became the official journal of the Asia Academy of Management, a regional affiliate of the Academy of Management, and earned a listing on Thomson-ISI’s Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). All of us interested in management and organizational research on the Asia Pacific region owe a lot to the work of these fine scholars and to APJM’s senior editors, editorial board members, reviewers, and authors for their hard work on the journal over these many years. During my tenure as editor, APJM has continued its growth and development. Submissions to the journal have more than doubled since 2009 and we have also increased the number of articles published in APJM. The editorial team have all worked very hard to continue making APJM an important scholarly journal for authors and researchers interested in management and organizational studies in the Asia Pacific region. Now, after nearly 3 years and over 1,500 reviewed manuscripts, I am happy to introduce our next Editor-in-Chief, Professor Michael (Mick) Carney of Concordia University in Montreal, who will start in 2013. Mick brings a great deal of experience to his editorship, as he has been associated with APJM in various capacities since the 1990s, and has served as a senior editor for the journal since 2007. Mick edited one APJM Special Issue and published nine articles in APJM since 1998 (e.g. Carney, 1998). The Special Issue that Mick ran in 2009 with our senior editors Eric Gedajlovic and Xiaohua Yang, “Varieties of Asian Capitalism: Indigenization and Internationalization,” examined the important theme of varying business and Asia Pac J Manag (2012) 29:841–848 DOI 10.1007/s10490-012-9328-2
