Dear Colleague

It is my pleasure to announce the publication of Volume 5 Issue No. 2 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

Change in the publication format.

We continued using the new publication format that was introduced in Vol. 5 Issue No.1. That is, publications of the abstracts in html format as well as the full manuscripts in PDF. This, enables indexing and search of the abstracts by various Internet search engines. We adopted these modifications to earlier volumes of the journal as well.

In this issue you will see high quality academic papers whose abstracts are offered in 7 languages: English, French, German Spanish, Arabic, Italian and Chinese.

I would like to thank and to acknowledge the instrumental contribution of the Chief Editor, Dr. Meir Russ, and the Associate Editors, Francis Blasco, J. Michael Geringer, Mark Eulerich, Jan Schaaper and  Zu’bi Al-Zu’bi and the entire team of Editorial Board and reviewers.
