Why is it important?
This essay discusses how authors, reviewers, and editors of academic journals can enact more positive and developmental practices. When a cycle of positive feedback jells into a network linking a journal editor, an anonymous author, and blind reviewers, it is an exhilarating and aesthetically pleasing experience for all.
Perspectives
"Mahalo" is a Hawaiian word connoting gratitude, admiration, praise, esteem, and respect. Management scholars should be full of mahalo for each other because we share exceptional educations and opportunities to think, write, and teach about organizations and management. Mahalo was the theme of the 2015 Western Academy of Management conference held in Kauai, Hawaii. This essay was inspired by the conference’s closing session -- an interactive workshop that critically examined the submission, review, and publication of management research.
