About the Editorand Advisory Board

At the heart of the Encyclopedia of Management's editorial process was the Advisory Board. The Board team included a management professor, business reference librarians, and a freelance business writer and entrepreneur. This team of scholars and specialists, in addition to their teaching, research, writing and service work, found time to devote their expertise to the EoM. Their work began in developing and defining the list of management topics essential for inclusion. In addition to authoring a number of essays, they also assisted in selecting other qualified writers to contribute in their areas of management expertise. A brief biography of the editor and advisory board members is presented below.
