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.
