If you or your library subscribe to FBR, you should be able to download PDF copies of both published and in press papers at these urls. If you do not currently have access, please feel free to email me and I will be happy to send you a requested article or two.
2. NEW ASSOCIATE EDITOR:
TRISH REAY (University of Alberta) joins as the new Associate Editor for FBR as RON CHENAIL (Nova Southeastern University) completes a successful term as FBRs AE. We welcome Trish to our team and thank Ron for lending his vast editorial experiences to FBR. His editorial in the June 09 issue of FBR on Communicating Qualitative Research provides valuable advise on this topic.
Trish's expertise in organizational and institutional change, identity theory, organizational learning and knowledge translation, and qualitative methods - complements the skills of our editorial team! Her research has appeared in several top tier journals such as the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ), Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice (ETP), Organization Studies and Journal of Management Studies (JMS). She has won numerous best paper awards and has received many large grants for her research. In addition to her own excellent research, Trish has devoted considerable time and efforts towards mentoring and training of doctoral students. This remarkable ability makes her particularly suited for FBR as we seek to be developmental in our reviews while maintaining high standards of rigor in published research.
3. FBR authors publish their findings in the FFI Practitioner (a sister publication of FBR that is targeted towards the FB Advisors and Professionals):
In an attempt to help FBR authors disseminate their findings with the practitioner community, we have made an arrangement with the FFI Practitioner to publish the practitioner version of articles in this outlet.
In the November 2009 issue of the FFI Practitioner, an English and Spanish practitioner versions of the article by Laura Rienda, Enrique Claver, and Diego Quer (University of Alicante, Spain) on factors influencing the internationalisation process of family firms, were published.
English and Spanish versions at:
