Newly announced journal: International Journal of Management and Network Economics

International Journal of Management and Network Economics - to begin publication in 2008 - is devoted to the study of network industries (e.g. telecommunications, energy, air transport). Advanced managerial, financial and economic findings and research related to the development of interconnected networks attempt to modify the modern debate regarding network industries. Their importance relies on expectations of growth of several and differing private and public sectors, especially in the light of market liberalisation and increasing attention to quality management, customer satisfaction, technological innovation and value creation. Accordingly, financial markets, customers, public authorities and companies are looking for advances in network management and economics that can provide long-term benefits for both private and public stakeholders. New and adapted theories, models and frameworks are necessary to understand such a dynamic, complex and evolving scenario.
