Critical Acclaim
‘Impressively informative, exceptionally organized, and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, college and university library Writing/Publishing collections, How to Get Published in the Best Management Journals is an essential and thoroughly “user friendly” instructional guide and manual for authors, academics and scholars of all levels seeking to advance their careers and expand their journal publication success.’
– Mid West Book Review
‘Clear, effective, and helpful! Writing and publishing in leading academic journals has become more challenging than ever before. Business schools emphasize impact, reach and relevance as critical elements when evaluating published research. Wright, Ketchen and Clark have made some nice additions to their popular first edition by bringing in a new generation of scholars, emphasizing practice, and exploring new avenues for impact. Would highly recommend for aspiring scholars starting afresh as well as established researchers focused on impact.’
– Gerry George, Singapore Management University, Singapore and former Editor of The Academy of Management Journal
‘The first edition of this book was superb, but this new version is even better. With an expanded group of highly knowledgeable contributors and an array of up-to-date topics, this volume will be extremely valuable for management scholars who aspire to publish their works in the most prominent refereed outlets. I’ll be recommending it to all my colleagues and doctoral students.’
