Letter from the editor.
Bateman, Connie Rae
Welcome to the Journal of Organizational Culture, Communications
and Conflict. The journal is owned and published by the DreamCatchers
Group, LLC. The Editorial Board and the Editors are appointed by the
Allied Academies, Inc., a non profit association of scholars whose
purpose is to encourage and support the advancement and exchange of
knowledge, understanding and teaching throughout the world. The
editorial mission of the Journal is to publish empirical and theoretical
manuscripts which advance knowledge in the areas of organizational
culture, organizational communication, conflict and conflict resolution.
We hope that the Journal will prove to be of value to the many
organizational scholars around the world.
The articles contained in this volume have been double blind
refereed. The acceptance rate for manuscripts in this issue, 25%,
conforms to our editorial policies.
We intend to foster a supportive, mentoring effort on the part of
the referees which will result in encouraging and supporting writers. We
welcome different viewpoints because in differences we find learning; in
differences we develop understanding; in differences we gain knowledge;
and, in differences we develop the discipline into a more comprehensive,
less esoteric, and dynamic metier.
The Editorial Policy, background and history of the Allied
Academies, and calls for conferences are published on our web site. In
addition, we keep the web site updated with the latest activities of the
organization. Please visit our site at www.alliedacademies.org and know
that we welcome hearing from you at any time.
