The New Jersey Policy Research Organization Foundation (NJPRO), New Jersey Business magazine, and the Stillman School of Business at Seton Hall University announce the compilation of the seventh annual volume celebrating scholarship in all fields of business as published by faculty members within New Jersey.  We invite all faculty members who are affiliated either with a two or four year school (or department) of business within New Jersey to submit their research publications that were published in 2007.  Works eligible for this compilation include articles that have appeared in refereed scholarly or practitioner journals in any business discipline as well as scholarly books in business.  We also invite refereed scholarly works that center on pedagogy in business education.  These works can include multiple authorships provided that at least one author is a member of a college or department of business in New Jersey.  In addition, we also invite doctoral dissertations that have been defended and approved in 2007 by a New Jersey business school or department.  Excluded are self-edited or self-published journals or books.  Conference proceedings are also excluded. Scholars may submit as many works as they have published in 2007.  We ask that each author include a one-paragraph research translation or abstract for each work that will provide the reader insights on the practical impact that the research has for the business practitioner.  The research translation or abstract should be submitted in electronic form as a Microsoft Word file, Adobe pdf file, or link to an Internet site.  For details on submitting publications, please see the attachment or the Internet link:  .

In addition to scholarly publications, we would also like to receive a one-page paper from each two or four year school (or department) of business within New Jersey that summarizes an excellent example of a classroom exercise from 2007 that underscores the learning opportunities available to students when classrooms are linked to business organizations.  These submissions should be signed by the department chair or business school dean as appropriate. 

As part of this compilation, NJPRO, New Jersey Business magazine, and the Stillman School of Business will award recognition prizes to the top scholarly works and the best teaching ideas that are submitted.  All entries are due by May 1, 2008.  Winners will be announced in September 2008, when the compilation is published.
