Article Type: Editorial From: Team Performance Management, Volume 18, Issue 1/2

I would like to begin the year by thanking the Editorial Advisory Board members for their continued support and input to the journal. I would also like to thank the reviewers who provided high quality and timely reviews to authors in 2011. They are named below. If you are interested in reviewing for the journal in future, please do let me know.

This has been an interesting year as we transitioned to an on-line submission system. There were a couple of minor hiccups along the way, but the Emerald team were quick to respond and so the transition has been generally quite smooth. Thank you to them for their help and support along the way!

In 2011, Team Performance Management supported the International Conference on “Organisations in the New Millennium: Challenges and Opportunities” (ICON 2011). It was organised and hosted by the Ajay Kumar Garg Institute of Management (AKGIM) and the Indian Society for Training and Development (ISTD), and was held in Ghaziabad, India on 14-15 October 2011. We will be working on a Special Issue of the best team related papers from this conference, with Dr Vidhi Agrawal, the conference co-chair.

In 2011, we published 23 articles, with first authors from: Austria, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, India, Israel, Korea, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, The Netherlands, UK and USA. A range of team performance management topics were represented, including: leadership, diverse teams, virtual teams, computer-supported teams and around issues including conflict, idea generation, trust, learning, training, and social capital in teams. We also published a special issue on “Team identity, emotion and development in non-standard work arrangements”, edited by Dr Jeanette Lemmergaard of the University of Southern Denmark.

We would like to extend our congratulations to Profs Nicola Berg and Dirk Holtbrugge for winning the 2011 Team Performance Management Outstanding Paper Award. Their paper is: “Global teams: a network analysis” in Vol. 16 Nos 3/4, pp. 187-211. The Highly Commended Awards for 2011 went to the following papers: Fraser, K. and Hvolby, H.-H. “Effective teamworking: can functional flexibility act as an enhancing factor? An Australian case study”, Vol. 16 Nos 1/2, pp. 74-94; Pushpa, R.R. and Mathew, M. “Interactive and collaborative behaviour of software product development teams”, Vol. 16 Nos 7/8, pp. 434-450; and Neal, M. “When Arab-expatriate relations work well: diversity and discourse in the Gulf Arab workplace”, Vol. 16 Nos 5/6, pp. 242-266. And finally, congratulations to M.P. Ganesh of Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India for winning the 2011 Outstanding Reviewer Award.

In our next issue (Vol 18. Nos 3/4, 2012), we will have a special issue on “Leadership in projects”, edited by Dr Nicholas Clarke of the University of Southampton, UK. If you have any proposals for future special issues, please send me your ideas for consideration. We would particularly like to encourage special issues which provide a platform for contributions from a diverse range of countries, to facilitate our aim of further increasing the internationalisation of the journal.
