    AN INVITATION FOR APPLICATIONS FOR EDITOR
    of
    THE JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT EDUCATION


    The Organizational Behavior Teaching Society invites applications for the
    position of Editor of the Journal of Management Education. The term of
    office is three years starting 1 January 2007, plus a four-month
    preparatory overlap with the current Editor prior to the beginning of the
    term.

    The Organizational Behavior Teaching Society seeks a respected scholar and
    visionary leader to enhance the quality of JME and to develop strategies
    for strengthening the Journalfs impact on the field of management
    education. The editor will assist in fostering the Societyfs strategic
    directions for quality teaching and learning in the organizational
    sciences.

    The Journal and Society are at a key inflection point. The JME editor
    position offers an opportunity to provide direction to the premier journal
    in management education as well as to help shape the future of teaching
    and learning in the organization and management disciplines.

    The primary criteria for selection include:

    œ Visibility in the academy of scholars and teachers in the fields
    of organizational behavior, learning, and management education.

    œ A record of scholarly publication pertinent to management and
    management education.

    œ A vision for the Journal that includes new ways to communicate
    with and influence management education.

    œ Organizational skills necessary to run a high quality publication,
    including the ability to meet deadlines and the capacity to work
    constructively with authors, reviewers, and Board members. (Associated
    editors and support staff can also assist with administrative
    responsibilities.)

    œ A commitment of institutional support from the applicantfs
    university.

    Membership in the Organizational Behavior Teaching Society is not a
    requirement for appointment.

    Applications should consist of a letter or e-mail describing (1) the
    applicantfs qualifications and experience relevant to the selection
    criteria, and (2) a statement addressing the strategic vision for JME and
    the future of management education and OBTS. These materials should be
    sent by 1 May 2006 to the chair of the search committee, Kim Cameron, Ross
    School of Business, University of Michigan, 701 Tappan Street, Ann Arbor,
    Michigan 48109-1234. Telephone: 734-615-5247. Fax: 734-615-4323.
