With regrets and deepest sadness we have to announce the passing away of our colleague and co-editor Engelbert Dockner. Professor Dockner was member of the editorial team of Management Review Quarterly (formerly: Journal für Betriebswirtschaft) from 2011 to 2017, and processed manuscripts in the journal’s Finance, Tax and Accounting section. Together with Engelbert Dockner, the MRQ experiences its transformation from the Journal für Betriebswirtschaft into an initially bilingual journal, which meanwhile publishes most of its state-of-the-field review articles in English language.

In this issue, Professor Josef Zechner, who has been one of his colleagues for many years, honors Professor Dockner’s contributions to science, and, in particular, to the field of financial economics. We will miss many thoughtful and stimulating discussions with Engelbert and are losing a wonderful colleague. Our thoughts are with his family.
