The Michigan Journal of Business
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Michigan Journal of Business is a bi-annually published academic journal run by undergraduate students at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. The Journal is the first undergraduate business journal in the United States with a worldwide audience, being distributed to over 150 University libraries in five continents. The Journal publishes distinguished theses, empirical research, case studies, and theories in issues relating to areas of Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Management, Operations Management, Information Systems, Business Law, Corporate Ethics, and Public Policy. The Journal was accepted into the Directories of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), a scholarly journal database that enlists more than 3000 of the world’s leading publications.
[edit] Mission
Because the contemporary business environment is exceedingly complex, analyzing real world phenomenon through traditional applications of basic theories often yield a suboptimal understanding of the world. The Journal, accordingly, encourages work that takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding a topic and emphasizes the importance of incorporating the knowledge of liberal arts into an area of interest. By providing a venue to recognize high quality work, the Journal gives an incentive for students to write papers and to further explore their area of interest, thereby rewarding them with the experience to share the power of knowledge with others. The Journal’s mission and philosophy parallels the mission of the University of Michigan, the premier research university in the United States.
[edit] Review Process
The organization is entirely student-run, with an editorial staff of fifteen of the top students in the Department of Economics and the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Each semester, the Journal will call for papers from undergraduate students around the world. Throughout the semester, the editorial board will carefully review, edit, and select exceptional work for publication. Faculty willing to advise the Journal will be formed from each department to give minor oversight for the project. Throughout the process, a blind review process is implemented to ensure impartial review of all submissions.
