AMLE Vision (2012-2015)
AMLE seeks to be the international journal of choice for research about MLE.
We will publish scholarship that is rigorous and relevant, and collaborate with other Academy and MLE journals to help those who study, teach, and manage management-related learning.
Strategic Initiatives
International: Special issue; international visits, workshop, & conferences (Australia & China)
Rigorous: Increased standards for theory, method, and data reporting; desk decisions
Relevant: Pushing for practical implications; connecting to current management challenges in editorials, website, and social media
Helpful: Ethics focus, BRR “clusters”
A Focus on Ethics
Honig & Bedi (2012) results
New ethics policies approved
Plagiarism detection (iThenticate) active
Goal: Send us ideas for the scholarship we should be doing. Consider writing!
Book & Resource Review Upcoming “Clusters”
Non-management journals
(e.g., Adult Education Quarterly, Journal of Educational
Psychology, Educational Psychology Review)
Teaching & learning conferences
(e.g., The Teaching Professor Conference, American
Association for Adult and Continuing Education
Conference (AAACE), American Society for Training and
Development (ASTD), AACSB Assessment Conference)
