    Dear Colleague,

    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.  We will serve as editors-in-chief of MBR.

    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.    Our website is www.mbrjournal.com.  Please see the MBR Plan and Call for Papers posted on the link below.

    MBR has 122 advisors, including editors of prominent research journals and 11 professors from Wharton; eight from Harvard; six from Dartmouth; five each from Carnegie Mellon and MIT; four each from North Carolina and Stanford; three each from Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, London Business School, Northwestern, and UCLA; and two each from Georgia State, Imperial College, Maryland, Michigan, NYU, and Ohio State.  Advisors also include executives from Accenture, Alidale, 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 is cosponsored by business schools at Carnegie Mellon, City University of Hong Kong, Cornell, Michigan, UCLA, Vanderbilt, and Virginia and by China Europe International Business School, Indian School of Business, and INSEAD.

    Schools or companies that subscribe to MBR for all its constituents will be listed as Partner Organizations in MBR.  A partner organization may also request its own customized edition of the journal for its constituents.  The MBR Plan and Call for Papers posted on the link above describes more details of this opportunity. We would appreciate it if you would share this email and the MBR Plan with the colleagues in your organization.

    You can also nominate your colleagues for the journal's editorial team subject to the eligibility criteria stated in the attached plan.  To become a part of this initiative, please register yourself and your colleagues at www.mbrjournal.com so that we can send the first issue of the journal to the registrants and continue to share more information on MBR.

    Yours truly,

    Wallace J. Hopp, Distinguished University Professor and Associate Dean, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and Kalyan Singhal, McCurdy Professor of Supply-Chain Management, Merrick School of Business, University of Baltimore
