Editor's note

We are very excited about this issue of the Journal. It inaugurates a new alliance among the University of Michigan, John Wiley & Sons, and the Society for Human Resource Management. For 34 years, the University of Michigan has had editorial responsibility for Human Resource Management; for the last 12 years Michigan and Wiley have partnered in publishing the Journal. Beginning with this issue, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) will join us to edit, publish, and distribute the Journal; Michigan will continue to take editorial leadership. With an outstanding Managing Editor (Gerry Lake); prominent Associate Editors, (Dick Beatty, Sharon Lobel, Craig Schneier, Arthur Yeung, and K. Michele Kacmar), and a world-class Editorial Board, the Journal will continue to push frontiers of HR theory, research, and practice. Wiley will continue to offer publishing expertise, and SHRM brings to this alliance the world's largest association of HR professionals (over 70,000 members). SHRM also, through its foundation, has a commitment to theory and research which further the profession of HR.
