ACBSP Annual Edition
Committee for Scholarly-Practitioner Publications
ACBSP is the only accrediting body for business schools that supports scholarly research by publication of a peer-reviewed journal. The fundamental objective of the ACBSP Annual Edition is to provide a venue for ACBSP members and others to present their research and findings, engage in scholarly research and inquiry, and support and improve classroom teaching.
The inaugural issue, ACBSP Annual Edition: Recognizing Excellence in Business Education was published in June 2010. It featured 13 articles and involved a committee of four, an editor, 20 reviewers, and 207 pages. These 13 articles represent research from India, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States of America. The inaugural issue is available for download (8.5MB) at http://www.acbsp.org/download.php?sid=1684.
Volume Two, ACBSP Annual Edition: Managing Business Education in the New Fiscal Reality, was published in November 2011. The nine articles featured in Volume 2 went through a rigorous, double-blind peer review process prior to final acceptance for publication.
Submissions are now being accepted for Volume Three of the ACBSP Annual Edition, to be released in November 2012.
