The International Journal of Cross Cultural Management (IJCCM ) provides a specialized academic medium and main reference for the encouragement and dissemination of research on cross cultural aspects of management, work, and organization. This includes both original qualitative and quantitative empirical work as well as theoretical and conceptual work which adds to the understanding of management across cultures. The Journal also promotes an understanding of the role of culture which is able to guide both theory and practice. "Cross-cultural management, as a subject of inquiry, brings to the fore a number of methodological concerns that are normally not present in mono-cultural research. These concerns are well-illustrated in many of the papers published in IJCCM . The explicit discussion of such issues as equivalence, sampling, and data collection makes a substantial contribution to our understanding and improvement of international management practice." Udo Staber, Stuttgart Institute of Management and Technology, Germany " IJCCM started off with quite an ambitious mandate to fill a much needed niche in management research. IJCCM sought to encourage multiplicity in methodologies and perspectives, indigenous research, a wider geographic spread of contributors and issues all the while maintaining the highest standards of academic excellence. In the eight short years since its founding it has clearly met this mandate. In looking at the most recent issue I found articles by many of the leaders of the field from diverse backgrounds and names that are new to me, all writing on topics that are of great importance to cross cultural management. How often is it that you wish you had the time to read virtually every article in an issue? That is what I felt when I received this last issue. I applaud Jackson and Aycan for their thoughtful leadership that has put IJCCM at the forefront for those interested in research on cross cultural management. It has become a "must read" journal for thus of us in the field" Nakiye Boyacigiller, Sabanci University, Turkey All issues of the IJCCM are available to browse online Submit your manuscript today at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/IJCCM .
