Announcement of a new journal for the consumer goods industry

International Commerce Review: ECR Journal

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to introduce you to a new journal which we think you might be interested in.

We think there is a big gap in the market for business learning. On the one hand, academic researchers are doing a lot of excellent work, investigating many different aspects of the business world: supply chain, marketing, IT, and so on. But most of this work appears only in academic journals which are never read by practitioners.

We believe there is tremendous value in gathering together the best of such research and making it available to practitioners in a way that is easy to read and understand – and which encourages new thinking and further research. In short, we want to build a mutually beneficial bridge between academia and industry.

The first issue of the International Commerce Review has now been published. You can see it at our website www.ecr-institute.org. This is a potentially valuable new resource for you if you are teaching: there are stimulating articles available for download. It is also a potentially valuable way of drawing practitioners’ attention to any research you might be involved in.

We want to help you help your students, and the industry. Please help us in this quest!

Yours sincerely

Prof. Daniel T. Jones
Editor in Chief

Prof. Dr. Arnd Huchzermeier
