Administrative Science Quarterly Online Table of Contents Alert
A new issue of Administrative Science Quarterly is available online:
December 2015; Vol. 60, No. 4
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, this is a lousy time of year for water sports and barbeques. That means we have more time for reading, and I'm happy to offer up some quality ASQ articles to fill the long winter evenings. (You're welcome.)
Our December issue features studies of investor recruitment into the Nairobi stock market; investment partners' various institutional logics and how they affect innovation in young firms; angel investors' "gut feel" criteria for making investment decisions; work–family policies that translate into fewer (but more growth-oriented) female entrepreneurs; and internationally oriented nonmarket organizations that support the cross-border transfer of knowledge and innovation.
Don't forget to visit our student-run blog (http://asqblog.com) featuring interviews with just about every recent ASQ author-an outstanding resource for grad students and young scholars in particular. It's a great place to find research and writing insights.
Follow us on Twitter (@ASQJournal) and like us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ASQJournal) for updates on new ASQ articles and book reviews, as well as social science studies in the news.
