Editorial focus


The Montague Institute Review publishes articles about the impact of global information networks on business strategy, tactics, and operations. The focus is on boundary-spanning applications that contribute directly to increased return-on-investment -- i.e. those applications that involve more than one department, company, or geographic location and result in increased effectiveness as well as increased efficiency. The emphasis is on standard, proven, non-proprietary technologies that can easily be deployed by different organizations in multiple geographic locations. The audience is senior, non-technical executives and information professionals.

Representative topics

  • how intranet "communities of practice" contribute to faster product development

  • how online "forums" foster global information sharing that closes more sales or solves customer problems

  • strategies that promote information sharing and minimize "information hoarding"

  • how to satisfy the information needs of strategic business units at each stage in their life cycle (start-up, mature, renewal)

Authors' Guidelines
We encourage authors to write about their personal experiences (or those of their clients) in a general business context. Case studies are welcome, but relate your own experiences to a broader context -- e.g. industry trends, what other companies are doing.

Technical and industry overviews are fine as long as you relate them to a practical application and write for our audience.

Articles should be 1,000 - 2,500 words and contain links to related resources on the Web. Please submit articles in plain text format as an E-mail attachment.

Authors should submit a brief (one paragraph) bio to accompany the article. The bio can include a photo (in gif or jpg format) and a link to your organization's Web site.

If you are not sure whether your topic is suitable, we encourage you to discuss it with our editor at (423) 968-5584.
