Dear Colleagues:

Please plan now to help to review ENT Division papers for Academy of Management 2007.  In fact, would you take a minute to volunteer right now?  (Easy signup directions appear below.)

Here's why your help this year is vital:

·        Entrepreneurship topics are increasingly important in across the Academy; and reviews from ENT Division members will have increasingly broad impact;

·        New categories are now open (e.g. institutional entrepreneurship) to reflect the dynamism in our field; and your timely feedback can help to shape the field as we grow;

·        Your reviewing this year will help me, as Program Chair, to meet our Division aims for high quality and timely feedback to authors, which is made more possible where we do not spread reviewers too thinly across many papers; and where we have ample reviewer talent available to match authors and reviewers by topic.

So thanks very much in advance for your support.  I really appreciate it.

Warmly,

Ron Mitchell

2007 ENT Division Program Chair

STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS:

Here is the first step in the process of signing up to be a reviewer.  All you need to do is to log-on using your AOM user name and password.  After the initial sign-on there are a set of questions that you will be prompted to answer. So here goes:

1. Access the web site  www.aomonline.org and sign in
2. Selected "Volunteer to Become a Reviewer"
3. Enter your User Name and Password
4. During the signup process, you will be asked to select up to 5 divisions or interest groups that you feel qualified to review and rank order them. Please keep in mind that you may be asked to review 3-5 submissions per division or interest group you select.
5. You will also be asked to select keywords/subject areas for each division or interest group which will be used to match papers and symposia that most closely match your interests
