About the journal
John Naisbitt, in his book, Global Paradox, says "the bigger the world economy, the more powerful its smaller players." Big international companies are deconstructing themselves and creating new structures to survive in the new world order. Concepts like reengineering, rightsizing, network organizations and the virtual corporation are fast becoming the common theme in business practice. International strategic alliances are also on the increase based on the notion that no single company and no single country can alone be a successful player in the new global game. The organizational applications and managerial implications of these technology resources warrant a forum for the discussion of these issues. The Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM) has an important role to play in providing such a forum for researchers and practitioners to share leading-edge knowledge in the global information resource management area.
Mission:
Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM). The journal publishes original material concerned with all aspects of the development, use and management of information technology (IT) in a global context. The mission of JGIM is to be the primary forum for researchers and practitioners to disseminate the evolving knowledge on global IT. Original contributions concerning any aspect of global information management from both scholars and practitioners are welcome.
Submission Categories and Themes:
The journal accepts submissions in the following categories:
*Research Article - Contributions to this section are full research papers. The research must be complete and make substantial theoretical and/or empirical contributions to knowledge in the fi eld. Papers using various theoretical and methodological approaches are invited.
*Research Note - This section welcomes research that is novel and complete but not as comprehensive as to qualify as a full research paper, e.g., exploratory studies and methodological papers. Rigor and quality are still essential in this section.
*Research Review - Reviews should be insightful and carefully crafted articles that conceptualize research areas and synthesize prior research. Research review articles must provide new insights that advance our understanding of the research areas, and help in identifying and developing future research directions. Research review articles can be between 3000-8000 words.
Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that are consistent to the following submission themes:
(a) Cross-National Studies. These need not be cross-culture per se. These studies lead to understanding of IT as it leaves one nation and is built/bought/used in another. Generally, these studies bring to light transferability issues and they challenge if practices in one nation transfer (and if they don’t, they shed light on how or why not).
(b) Cross-Cultural Studies. These need not be cross-nation. Cultures could be across regions that share a similar culture. They can also be within nations (subcultures, ethnicities, etc.). These studies lead to understanding of IT as it leaves one culture and is built/bought/used in another. Generally, these studies bring to light transferability issues and they challenge if practices in one culture transfer (and if they don’t, they shed light on how or why not).
(c) Single nation studies from under-represented nations. The idea here is to look at existing literature from the better represented nations and compare it to the fi ndings in the under-represented nation. If you don’t have data coming from multiple cultures or nations, then the idea is to basically have the same effect via the existing literature compared to the single nation dataset. (d) Studies of the development, implementation, management and use of IT in multinational, transnational, inter-national and global organizations.

Review process
To ensure the high quality of published material, JGIM utilizes a group of experts to review submitted manuscripts. Upon receipt of the manuscript, two reviewers are selected from the Editorial Review Board of the Journal. The selection is based upon the particular area of expertise of the reviewers, matched to the subject matter of the submission. An additional ad-hoc reviewer is also selected to review the manuscript. Therefore, each submission is accordingly blind reviewed by at least three reviewers. Revised manuscripts will be reviewed again by the original review panel with the addition of one new reviewer. Return of a manuscript to the author(s) for revision does not guarantee acceptance of the manuscript for publication. The final decision will be based upon the comments of the reviewers, upon their second review of the revised manuscript.
Copyright
Authors are asked to sign a warranty and copyright agreement upon acceptance of their manuscript, before the manuscript can be published. The publisher, Idea Group Publishing Company, reserves all copyrights, including translation of the published material into other languages.

Authors are asked to submit via e-mail their manuscripts for possible publication. E-mail attachments should be in Word or Rich Text Format (RTF). Submission MUST clearly state the category (Research Article or Research Note) that the paper is being submitted to. Manuscripts must be typewritten in English on 81/2" x 11 " white paper, one side only, double-spaced, with adequate margins. A separate cover page with the author's name, affiliation, address, and telephone number should accompany manuscripts. The author's names should not be included anywhere in the manuscript except on the cover page. Manuscripts must also be accompanied by an abstract of 100-150 words, precisely summarizing the mission and object of the manuscript.
Length
For Research Articles, the length of the submitted manuscript is not specifically limited, however, the length should be reasonable in light of the chosen topic. Discussion and analysis should be complete, but not unnecessarily long or repetitive. Research Note submissions should ideally be approximately 2,500 words.
Correspondence
Acknowledgment via email regarding the receipt of the manuscript will be promptly sent The review process will take approximately 8-16 weeks, and the author will be notified concerning the possibility of publication of the manuscript as soon as the review process is completed. All correspondence will be directed to the author who originally submitted the manuscript. It is the responsibility of this author to communicate with the other author(s), if applicable. Authors of accepted manuscript will be asked to provide a final copy of their manuscript in either ASCII or Word format (IBM) or Apple Macintosh format stored on a 3 ? disk, accompanied by a hard copy of the manuscript and the signed copy of the Warranty and Copyright Agreement. The accepted manuscript will be edited by the Journal copy editor for format and style.
Case studies
JGIM also encourages submission of case studies based on actual cases related to different issues and aspects of global information management. Case studies must provide adequate information regarding the organization upon which the case is based, discussion of the issues involved, coverage of any experiments or trials of techniques or managerial approaches, and finally, discussion of any lessons learned or conclusions drawn from this study.
