Abstract

Edited books are subject to suspicion. Most journal editors believe that the edited volume cannot possibly be honed to the quality standards ensured by blind review. Publishers worry either that the edited book addresses only a small number of readers in a specialty area or that it covers so many areas that potential readers will decide that the few chapters addressing their specialty interests do not justify purchase. Given an expanding set of management journals and conferences, and escalating book prices, many individuals considering Advances in Strategic Management are likely to follow similar lines of thought. What can an annual series like this one offer that is not being better delivered by other outlets?
