I have enormous respect for Dr.

G.

Shainesh, the Editor of the journal.

Together with an impressive editorial review board, Shainesh has developed an efficient and helpful review board that helps to assure the quality of the journal and to help give it direction.

Not only has this resulted in a journal with both practical and theoretical importance, it has also helped to set the tone for enhancing the research excellence of Indian schools of business and related disciplines with an interest in business and consumption phenomena in India. - Russell Belk, York University, Canada.
