Edited by Timothy Clark, Provost and Professor, Singapore Management University, Singapore, the late Mike Wright, formerly Professor of Entrepreneurship and Director, Centre for Management Buyout Research, Imperial College Business School, London, UK and David J.

'Scholars seek to have their work published in the top journals,
both because these elite outlets provide the most visible platforms
for research products and because they confer stature on the
authors and their institutions. Of course, getting published in the
top journals is known to be devilishly difficult. This book, How to
Get Published in the Best Management Journals, consisting of
chapters written by premier, highly accomplished scholars from
around the world, provides invaluable insights - ranging from the
philosophical and motivational to the tactical and nitty-gritty. I
wish this book had existed when I was starting out, and I will be
encouraging my students and colleagues to dig into it.'
*Donald C. Hambrick, Pennsylvania State University, US*
'For many, the process of publishing in the best management
journals is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. Even when they are
successful, they are never sure why. And too often rejections hurt,
but don't provide insight about how to increase the likelihood of
success. This book begins to unwrap this enigma by describing the
process and providing practical guidance that scholars at all
levels can use to navigate this intellectual minefield. I wish I
had this book earlier in my career.'
*Jay B. Barney, University of Utah*
