Dear Collegue,

It is my pleasure to announce the publication of Volume 7 Issue No. 1 of the International Journal of Management and Business, IJMB.
You may view this and other issues of IJMB at: http://www.iamb.net/IJMB/journal.html

INTRODUCING TWO NEW FORMATS in future issues of IJMB:

A Short Research Report and Short Communication
Both may be used for expedite publications of new information. They have a different structure than a regular article: usually there is no separation between the sections; no need for detailed background information; should provide key pointers to the readers; and have size limitation of a 8 pages.

A Short Research Note  should focus on previously published research, reporting of additional controls, supporting results in other settings, negative results, small-scale studies, audits and case studies. Authors must acknowledge any prior work upon which they are building.

A Short Communication may be used as follow up on previously reported research, or when authors had discovered or developed something original. The original work to be reported needs to be methodologically and statistically sound, innovative and advance our knowledge in the field.

For more details, read "From the Editor" in this issue on Page 7:
