American higher education has been profoundly compromised in the past three decades. Standards have been eroded, the curriculum has been debased, and research has been trivialized or distorted by ideology. Yet the established voices of the academy often speak in tones that are self-congratulatory rather than self-critical. Academic Questions utilizes the best of scholarly analysis to explore the conspicuous vices, as well as the virtues, of the contemporary university. A journal dedicated to strengthening the integrity of scholarship and teaching, Academic Questions examines issues that arise from the interplay between politics, ideology, scholarship, and teaching in higher education. Among the questions explored are the maintenance of scholarly standards, the quality and even-handedness of peer review, the preservation of intellectual tolerance and civility on campus and within academic associations, and the relationship between government and education. A critique of the academy by academics themselves, Academic Questions upholds the traditions of humanism and intellectual freedom. Academic Questions is the official journal of the National Association of Scholars.

The mission of the Academy of Management Annals is to provide periodic, comprehensive examinations of recent advances in multiple management fields. Each yearly volume features critical reviews of the research, written by leading management scholars. Through these systematic analyses, the Annals summarize previously established studies and concepts, pinpoint potential problems (such as factual errors), and inspire new discussions and directions for further research activity.Suggestions for topics and authors are welcomed. They should be sent to the Senior Editor: Royston Greenwood at royston.greenwood@ualberta.ca .The Academy of Management is proud to announce the fifth volume of The Academy of Management Annals . This exciting series follows one guiding principle: the advancement of knowledge is possible only by conducting a thorough examination of what is known and unknown in a given field. Such assessments can be accomplished through comprehensive, critical reviews of the literature—crafted by informed scholars who determine both when a line of inquiry has gone astray, and how to steer the research back onto the proper path.The Academy of Management Annals provide just such essential reviews. Written by leading management scholars, the reviews are invaluable for ensuring the timeliness of advanced courses, for designing new investigative approaches, and for identifying faulty methodological or conceptual assumptions. The Academy of Management Annals strive each year to synthesize a vast array of primary research, recognizing past principal contributions while illuminating potential future avenues of inquiry.Academic scholars in management and allied fields (e.g., sociology of organizations and organizational psychology) will see The Academy of Management Annals as a valuable resource to turn to for comprehensive, up-to-date information—published in a single volume every year by the preeminent association for management research.Volume 5 of The Academy of Management Annals continues to review research literature across a variety of areas incorporating: technological innovation; negotiation and gender inequality; staffing practices; person-environment fit; turnover and retention research; organizational competition and cooperation; work-family initiatives; power and status in social hierarchies; behavioural decision research; systematic research synthesis in management; entrepreneurship and ethical decision making.'It’s an exceptional volume—and exceptionally timely to boot. I found myself trying to put this new Annals in perspective. I tried, in particular, to cast a rather hard and critical light on this volume: Just how essential is it for the time-starved and besieged scholar to have yet another thing to keep up with? Do we really need, in short, yet another annual volume? The answer I gave myself to this question was a resounding, ‘‘Yes!’’'Review in International Public Management Journal (2008)DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the “Content”) contained in its publications.
