Harzing.com paper series

Introduction

To celebrate the next decade of Harzing.com, I have decided to introduce a special Harzing.com paper series as a forum for authors with papers that have difficulty finding an outlet, for instance because they are controversial or do not fit traditional frameworks. The papers should focus on matters of relevance to all academics, not just academics working in Business & Management.

Please do not embarrass me and yourself by sending me poor papers that were rejected by other outlets for quality reasons. As the editor, I reserve the right to refuse any papers without providing a detailed explanation.

Wives of the Organization

I am delighted to introduce this series with a set of four papers around the general theme of the role of women in the workplace. It starts with Anne Huff's "Wives of the Organization" paper, a paper that has led an underground existence for nearly two decades and has lost none of its currency. Hence, I am thrilled to finally see this paper published and hope that it can benefit a new generation of academic women (and men!).

The paper is followed by two commentaries, written by Joyce Fletcher, Marta Calás and Linda Smircich, as well as a short rejoinder by Anne Huff. The papers are introduced by Alison Konrad and Anne Huff. I trust you will enjoy this exciting exchange.
