Notes

  1. Ben Kedia, personal communication, January 2007.

  2. Seung-Hyun Lee, personal communication, April 2007.

  3. These six first-tier journals (with a score of 4) in the “general management” and “international business” categories are the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Management, and Journal of Management Studies (Harvey et al., 2007). In addition, two other journals, Harvard Business Review and Journal of Business, are in the first tier for “general management.” We exclude HBR because it has a practitioner orientation and thus is not an academic journal. JB was an academic journal. However, it ceased publication at the end of 2006 and thus is no longer in existence. Note this is slightly different from Lau’s (2007) footnote 4, which only reports the seven first-tier journals in “general management” (including HBR and JB) but does not add the only first-tier journal in “international business” (JIBS).
