I would like to begin the year by thanking the Editorial Advisory Board members for their continued support and input to the journal. I would also like to thank the reviewers who provided high quality and timely reviews to authors in 2010. They are named below. If you are interested in reviewing for the journal in future, please do let me know.
In 2010, we published 22 articles, with first authors from Australia, Canada,Finland, Israel, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, India, United Arab Emirates,the UK, and the USA. A range of team performance management topics were represented, including emotional intelligence, adaptive performance, global teams, virtual teams, self-regulating teams and self-managed teams. We also published a special issue on “Expats and citizens: managing diverse teams in the Middle East” edited by Dr Ingo Forstenlechner of the United Arab Emirates University, UAE.
In November 2010, we transitioned to the online submission of journal articles that will help to streamline and further improve the management of articles through the submission and review processes.
We would like to extend our congratulations to Tiina Gallén for winning the 2010 Team Performance Management Outstanding Paper Award. Her article: “Top management team composition and views of viable strategies”can be found in Vol. 15, Nos 7/8, published in 2009.
