Making APJM Better • All APJM editors, authors, reviewers, readers (who cite our publications): Thank you so much! • Given that Asia is generating a huge volume of research output (JIBS will run a sp issue on “Asia and global business”), it is imperative that we have a top tier journal that is in Asia, on Asia, and of Asia • With all your help, as a community of like minded scholars, we can make it happen—and we will!
