JBV is the top journal in the field of e-ship. A paper published in JBV may not qualify for AMJ or ASQ, but a paper published in AMJ or ASQ may not qualify for JBV. Every paper has its outlet and its own audience. It is not necessary to downplay a journal that you know very little about. In fact, if you publish in AMJ or ASQ but never in JBV, you are not qualified for an e-ship researcher. Please respect other people's fields.
Not to offend, but JBV is really a B-level journal, which does not worth much time to read. Comparing with A-level journals, B-journal article in general are less original, rigorous, and insightful. The only decent articles on JBV may be from Baron (2001-2004). I cannot find other good articles there. Look out for Eisenhardt's articles in ASQ, AMR and AMJ. She is a professor at Stanford and published great articles in the field of entrepreneurship. Also read the article written by Shane and Venka (2002), which provides certain perspective on e-ship. My comments are embedded with my own bias and experience. Admittedly, JBV is so far the best journal for E-ship alone. But even a hundred publications on JBV alone is not sufficient to get you a tenure at top schools. I spent about 40 hours reading JBV article for a seminar, and I really want that 40 hours back to my life. -- by 会员 benxu (2010/10/4 4:39:53)
