Turner College Faculty Lead Roundtable Session at CSU’s 2022 Graduate Research & Writing Bootcamp

Three Turner College faculty – Phil Bryant, Kirk Heriot and Frank Mixon – led a “Meet the Editors Roundtable” session at CSU’s 2022 Graduate Research & Writing Boot Camp on Saturday, October 15. Bryant, an associate professor of management in the Turner College, is the co-founder of Servant Leadership: Theory & Practice, and the current editor-in-chief of Compensation and Benefits Review, the leading practitioner journal in human resource management. Heriot, holder of the Turner College’s Crowley Endowed Chair and professor of management, is the founder and editor of the American Journal of Entrepreneurship. Mixon, holder of the Turner College’s Buck Endowed Chair and professor of economics, will take over as editor of the Journal of Financial Economic Policy in January of 2023. Bryant opened the presentation by explaining the difference between subscription-supported, traditional journals and newer, open-access publishing formats.

He also stressed the importance of accepting invitations from journal editors to review submissions to journals. Heriot added that researchers should take care to ensure that the topic of their research fits the scope of the journal. He pointed out that he occasionally receives submissions to his own journal that are not related to entrepreneurship. Mixon explained the growing use by journal editors of desk rejections, which occur when journal editors assess the likelihood of eventual acceptance of a paper submission and quickly forward rejection decisions to researchers in cases where that likelihood is low. He added that if a rejection is inevitable it is best that researchers get that news sooner rather than later. During the remainder of the one-hour roundtable the three Turner faculty fielded questions from the audience.

Jung Exploring Influence of Confucianism on Luxury Brand Performance in China, Japan and South Korea

In a recent chat with Turner Business , Turner College professor of marketing Sungwoo Jung made the point that luxury brands are gaining the degree of influence in many developing countries that they enjoy now in developed countries. He has been pondering this issue as part of his international marketing research program, which typically focuses on advertising, pioneering advantages and multi-cultural analysis. Currently, Jung is concentrating his energies on a cross-cultural analysis of brand equity that highlights luxury brands’ performance. His research finds that China, Japan and South Korea have each seen an increase in market share for luxury brands in recent years. As Jung explained to Turner Business , “These three countries share a common philosophical background – Confucianism.” With that point in mind, Jung and his coauthors are currently engaged in an investigation of how Confucianism influences consumer behavior in these three Asian countries, and how that behavior im
