Newsletter Changes
Membership Corner
If you have not yet done so, please make sure to renew your SMA membership for 2007 so you don't miss a single issue of Journal of Management. You may renew your membership by going to www.southernmanagement.org and clicking on "Membership" and then "Join Now." You can pay via credit card or check and can manage your contact information this way as well. |
This issue brings several changes to the SMA Newsletter, largely due to feedback received in the recent membership survey. Deadlines for submitting newsletter items have been moved up, along with the newsletter publication dates. Submission deadlines are now January 15 and August 15, and targeted publication dates are now February 1 and September 1, for the spring semester and fall semester issues, respectively.
The first page of the newsletter has been redesigned to include a list of “Issue Highlights.” In that list, page numbers of key newsletter items are shown. Also, each item name in the list is linked to the first page in which that item appears so that you can go directly to that page on your computer screen by clicking on the item name.
In addition, newsletter content and page length are now more flexible to accommodate member submissions. Moreover, a “Calls for Papers” section has been added to help members access that kind of information.

In the membership survey, several suggestions were offered as to additional types of items that could be included in the newsletter. A column with news about individual SMA members was suggested, for example. At present, the key constraint on newsletter content is the availability of content providers. We would be happy to include a “Member News” column, for example, if someone would volunteer to write it. To submit newsletter items, to discuss additional newsletter content, or to inquire about some content you would like to provide, contact Gary Castrogiovanni at garycas@csufresno.edu or (559) 278-4975.
