Starting Engaging Conversations: Introducing the Interview Section

Abstract

In our (almost) 12 months as JME co-editors, we have had a wonderful time exploring various aspects of the journal and implementing new ideas and ventures to keep JME up-to-date and relevant to the management education community. Some of these initiatives include invigorating our social media presence, offering more hybrid and online workshops in new places around the world, and moving to inviting Special Issue proposals on a rolling basis. We are delighted to see that many of our readers have embraced these opportunities with vigor and we look forward to offering more in future. Another key part of our role as new co-editors has involved reviewing each section of JME and considering whether changes need to be made. As most of our readers will be aware, we publish six main sections—research articles, theoretical and conceptual pieces, essays, rejoinders, instructional innovations, and instructional change in context papers—and each has specific requirements. We believe that the breadth of articles published in JME is one of the journal’s major strengths and one of the reasons that we continue to have such a high submission rate. Although empirical and theoretical pieces continue to comprise most of our manuscripts, it is pleasing to see that we have a healthy number of submissions across all sections.
