This study explores two questions pertaining to research publications: theimportance of publications, and the perceived ranking of strategic and general managementjournals. The reasons why research publishing is important are 1) it is partof the pursuit of knowledge, 2) it has extrinsic rewards to those publishing, and 3)it may increase the prestige of the institution with which the publishing faculty isaffiliated. On the second question, the authors have conducted a survey of perceivedjournal rankings. The results from 50 journals suggest that there is a consensus ofrankings. As such, an institution may reasonably use these rankings as a basis forevaluations of research quality. Areas for future research are suggested.
