PDMA is delighted to announce that Gloria Barczak of Northeastern University has been selected as the incoming Editor in Chief of the Journal of Product Innovation Management. Gloria will begin her term in January 2013.

Gloria is a leading innovation scholar, with numerous publications in prestigious innovation and marketing journals, including our favorite, Journal of Product Innovation Management. She is the co-author of the book Innovation and Marketing in the Video Game Industry and has contributed chapters to marketing and innovation encyclopedias and handbooks. She is a frequent contributor to top academic conferences in North America and abroad. She also serves on several editorial boards for leading journals. Her achievements have placed her among the top 20 innovation researchers worldwide, according to an article published in early 2012 in the Journal of Product Innovation Management.

During her time as a member of the JPIM editorial board, she has been among the top manuscript reviewers, typically juggling a large number of articles per year, and could always be counted on for insightful, compassionate reviews. Gloria also has extensive consulting experience with many leading US-based firms.

Due to her experience on the JPIM editorial board, her familiarity with JPIM and PDMA, and her research track record solidly in the innovation literature stream, she simply is the best person to lead the journal through the next years of publication as the innovation stream continues to broaden in scope and increase in popularity.

Welcome, Gloria, to the editorship of JPIM!
