  6. Other publications to consider for practitioner interested in service science…
    consider service science related articles in…

    1. Organizational Dynamics
    2. California Management Review
    3. Sloan Management Review
    4. Communications of the ACM, and
    Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work
    5. Journal of Service Research
    6. Academy of Management Executive (it has a new name now
    7. Journal of Marketing

    Also intrigued by Chris Voss, London’s response:

    “The two other similar journals are the MIT Sloan Management Review and the California Management Review. These are the only three widely read by managers and where reprints are often used in courses.”

    “Other than that I would suggest:
    Social networking such LinkedIn. There are many groups using LinkedIn and getting things listed on these groups with links to white papers articles web sites are useful. I am sure that a search would find other social networking groups.”

    “Publications and weblinks of professional organizations”
