New Quarterly Journal Tackles Management Excellence
This summer, Oracle launched the new Journal of Management Excellence—a quarterly publication that provides thought leadership, best practices, and research related to the emerging new discipline of management excellence.
As organizations achieve operational excellence, they are searching for new ways to differentiate themselves from their competitors, according to Frank Buytendijk, Oracle's vice president of EPM strategy and the journal's executive editor. Now they must work to be "smart, agile, and aligned"—in other words, to achieve "management excellence," says Buytendijk.
The new journal does not concentrate on specific products and technologies, according to Buytendijk. Instead, it aims to be a forum for "thought leadership—that is, everything we, our partners, our customers, and academia do in order to improve a general understanding of performance management and how to move our field of expertise forward," writes Buytendijk in the inaugural issue.
Inspired by the Harvard Business Review, the journal's staff is actively seeking original submissions from visionary business leaders as well as academics. The journal also includes links and references to key resources related to management excellence, from books and blogs to analyst reports and academic articles.
"Our ambition is high," writes Buytendijk. "We would like you not only to read the journal, but find it so interesting that you keep it. And send it to people you think are interested too. Even better, we hope that the content of the journal triggers you to contribute."
Download the inaugural edition of the Journal of Management Excellence and look for the next edition on September 20, just in time for Oracle OpenWorld.
