Dear Colleagues,
Jean Phillips and I are the Organizational Behavior (OB) and Human Resource Management (HR) collection editors for Business Expert Press. This is an open call for papers that address important, applied OB and HR topics relevant to current and future managerial practice. Relevant topics encompass broad or general domains (e.g., employee motivation, negotiation, leadership, staffing, compensation, etc.) as well as very specific OB/HR issues (e.g., socially responsible human resource practices, impact of climate or culture on customer service, or the use of social networks in recruiting). Please see the BEP website to learn more and to see a complete list of collection editors and topics: http://www.businessexpertpress.com/collections.
Any of several motivations might induce you to contribute a book to this collection. You could use your book to teach or to enhance your consulting practice, and it will provide a source of royalty revenue. BEP will sell the books both in print and in digital collections to the business school libraries of the world. You will also receive royalties for direct-to-consumer sales through Amazon.com and other consumer outlets. BEP also has signed an agreement to distribute selected books and chapters through Harvard Business Publishing. Best of all, you will retain the rights to your work, and can republish the material in either shorter or longer form. This gives you a chance to explore publishing your work as a book while keeping the workload light (it is a smaller book) and at the same time it allows you to expand or contract the content for other publishing opportunities.
The short books (75-150 pages) produced by BEP will be used in executive education, MBA programs, advanced undergraduate classes, and in active practice as well as general executive readership. Converting your expertise into actionable knowledge for the executive education market is an important contribution to our field. If you have an idea for a book or if you would like more information about authoring with BEP, please contact us or visit the website: http://www.businessexpertpress.com/author. We look forward to speaking with you further about this opportunity.
Best Regards,
Stan Gully
