Testimonials

“Since our future is dependent on our social systems and us as humans to adapt and be resilient in the search of sustained, desired change for a better world. The Journal of Management Development (JMD) is the definitive source for breakthrough theory, insightful empirical studies, and compassionate but practical applications of management, leadership and organization development. No other journal has the international reach nor adventurous editorial direction in the field of change.”
Richard E. Boyatzis,Professor in the Departments of Organizational Behavior, Psychology, and Cognitive Science at Case Western Reserve University, and Adjunct Professor of Human Resources, ESADE.

“Career Development International is such a well-respected journal, and has been very instrumental in my career -- both as a source of research knowledge in the field as well as a journal where I have been fortunate to have my research published.”
Monica Forret, St. Ambrose University, USA
