Notice to Contributors The ASQ logo reads, "Dedicated to advancing the understanding of administration through empirical investigation and theoretical analy sis." The editors interpret that statement to contain three compo nents that affect editorial decisions. About any manuscript they ask: does this work to (1) advance understanding, (2) address administra tion, (3) have mutual relevance for empirical investigation and theo retical analysis? Theory is how we move to further research and improved practice. If manuscripts contain no theory, their value is suspect. Ungrounded theory, however, is no more helpful than are atheoretical data. We are receptive to multiple forms of grounding but not to a complete avoidance of grounding. Normal science, replication, synthesis, and systematic extension are
all appropriate submissions for ASQ, but people submitting such work should articulate what has been learned that we did not know before. That it has been done before is no reason that it should be done again. There are topics within organizational studies that have become stagnant, repetitious, and closed. Standard work that sim ply repeats the blind spots of the past does not advance under standing even though work like it has been published before.
ASQ asks: "What's interesting here?" But we take pains not to con fuse interesting work with work that contains mere novelties, clever turns of phrase, or other substitutes for insight. We try to identify those ideas that disconfirm assumptions by people who do and study administration. Building a coherent, cumulative body of knowl edge typically requires work that suggests syntheses, themes, causal sequences, patterns, and propositions that people have not seen before. Interesting work should accelerate development.
We attach no priorities to subjects for study, nor do we attach greater significance to one methodological style than another. For these reasons, we view all our papers as high-quality contributions to the literature and present them as equals to our readers. The first paper in each issue is not viewed by the editors as the best of those appearing in the issue. Our readers will decide for themselves
which of the papers are exceptionally valuable.
We refrain from listing explicit topics in which we are interested. ASQ should publish things the editors have never thought of, and we encourage that by being vague about preferences. Authors should look at what ASQ has published over the last 10 years, see if there are any precedents for the proposed submission, and, if there is even a glimmer of precedent, submit the work to ASQ. Manu scripts that are inappropriate will be returned promptly.
We are interested in compact presentations of theory and research, suspecting that very long manuscripts contain an unclear line of argument, multiple arguments, or no argument at all. Each manu
script should contain one key point, which the author should be able to state in one sentence. Digressions from one key point are com mon when authors cite more literature than is necessary to frame and justify an argument.
We are interested in good writing and use poor writing as a reason to reject manuscripts. We're looking for manuscripts that are well argued and well written. By well argued we mean that the argu ment is clear and logical; by well written we mean that the argu ment is accessible and well phrased. Clear writing is not an adorn ment but a basic proof of grasp.
The basic flaw common to rejected manuscripts is that authors are unable to evaluate critically their own work and seem to make insuf ficient use of colleagues before the work is submitted. All work has alternative explanations. All work contains flaws. The best way to
recognize flaws is to discard the discussion section, ask what was learned and what is wrong with it, and frame the discussion in terms of these discoveries. To do this is to anticipate reviewers and improve the probability of acceptance.

Notice to Contributors
Preparation of Manuscripts
We encourage electronic submissions. Attach a file with the manu
script, which must be in a Word 6.0/95-compatible format, to an e
mail message and send it to [email protected]. The
attached file must include all figures and tables. Include in the e-mail message the title of the manuscript, authors' names, and the e-mail
and postal addresses of the corresponding author. The manuscript itself must include a title page with all of the authors' affiliations and contact information. In addition, type the title on the abstract page so that the title page can be removed to preserve the authors' anonymity. Authors without access to e-mail may send an IBM-for
matted floppy disk or CD-ROM addressed to the Editor, ASQ, Cor nell University, 20 Thornwoood Drive, Suite 100, Ithaca, NY 14850. Use the following guidelines to prepare manuscripts:
Include an informative-100-word abstract that describes the mate rial presented in the paper, including the question or focus, the type of study reported (e.g., empirical, laboratory, qualitative, field study, etc.), the context (e.g., work groups, Fortune 500 firms,
hospitals, cooperatives, etc.), and the major findings. For exam
ples, see abstracts of published work on the ASQ web page (http://www.johnson.cornell.edu/publications/asq).
Type all copy, except tables, double-spaced in 12-point,type. Type in block form, with an extra double-space between paragraphs. Use footnotes sparingly. Essential material should be incorporated in the text; material with weak relevance should be deleted. Orga nize the manuscript by using primary, secondary, and tertiary headings (see a recent issue of ASQ for format), rather than num bered headings. To preserve anonymity in the blind-review process, authors should avoid revealing their identity in text, through obvious self-refer ences to previous work, or in footnotes. If authors cite their own
published work or work in progress, however, these references must be included in the references with full bibliographic informa tion. Authors should reference their own work as they would the
work of any other scholar. Reviewers will ask what the contribu tion of a manuscript is above what has already been published and must have this information.
Omit italics unless absolutely necessary. Use only abbreviations known to the general public and avoid unnecessary acronyms; spell out an abbreviated term when first used. Avoid parentheses in textual material. Use quotation marks only for direct quotations.
Spell out numbers from one to nine and those that begin a sen tence. Write out "percent" in text; use percentage sign in tables.
Type tables or figures each on separate pages and attach them at the end of the manuscript after the references, rather than insert ing them in the text. Include a note (i.e., Insert table 1 about here) at the point in text where they are referenced. Present graphic material so that the meaning is immediately clear by including a title on every figure and table and labeling axes and diagrams. Use the active voice whenever possible, but use "we" only for multiple authors. Use the past tense for discussing earlier studies or presenting methods, samples, data, findings, results, and con
clusions. Use the present tense for discussing tables or figures as
they are presented in text.
Define a term accurately when it is first used and use it consis tently with that meaning throughout. Find the best way to express an idea once, rather than repeating the same idea in dif ferent words. Do not use a clause where a phrase will do or a
phrase where a word will do. Avoid jargon; do not mistake it for technical terminology.

References. Discuss only literature that pertains directly to the the sis or research of the paper and make it clear how it relates. Cite a representative set of references when there is a large literature. References to articles, books, and other source works should be
cited in the text by noting?in parentheses?the last name of the author, the year of publication, and page numbers where appropri ate. Do not use "ibid.," "op. cit.," or "loc. cit."; specify subsequent citations of the same source in the same way as the first citation. In the reference section, list every reference cited in the manuscript; do not list a reference that isn't cited in the text. Provide authors' last names and initials, year, title, volume and pages of journals, edi
tors' names and inclusive pages for chapters in edited volumes, and publisher and place of publication for books. Use the following guidelines in citing references:
If the author's name is in the text, follow it with the year in paren theses [e.g., "Glaser (1992) recommended .. ."]. If the author's
name is not in the text, insert it in parentheses, followed by a comma and the year. Multiple references are listed chronologically in parentheses, separated by semicolons.
For two or three authors, give all the authors' last names in text each time the work is cited; if there are four or more authors, give only the first author's name followed by "et al." and the date for each citation.
Page numbers, to indicate a passage in a book or to give the source of a quotation, follow the year and are preceded by a colon.
If there is more than one reference to the same author in the same year, postscript the date with a, b, c, etc. (e.g., Miller and
Friesen, 1980a).
For a source that is forthcoming or in press, give an estimated year of publication and use that date for citations in text. Add "in press" or "forthcoming" in parentheses at the end of the biblio graphic information in the references.
List all references as an appendix to the manuscript. Alphabetize by author and, for each author, list in chronological sequence. List the
authors' last names and initials. Use no italics or abbreviations. Use
one tab between the date and the title. See examples:

"The book is brilliant. Page has a dazzling eclecticism." -Max Bazerman, Harvard Business School
Scott E Page
HOW THE POWER OF DIVERSITY
CREATES BETTER GROUPS, FIRMS,
SCHOOLS, AND SOCIETIES
"Scott Page examines the effect of
cognitive diversity on problem solving and shows how diversity acts like an
engine for tinkering. It works
like evolution. By subverting the
big structures we also get rid of the
Platonified 'one way' of doing things. This is a landmark book."
?Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of
Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan
The Difference How the Power of Diversity Creates Better
Groups, Firms, Schools, and Societies
Scott E. Page
In this landmark book, Scott Page redefines the way we understand ourselves
in relation to one another. The Difference is about how we think in groups?and how our collective wisdom exceeds the
sum of its parts. The book reveals that
progress and innovation may depend less
on lone thinkers with enormous IQs than
on diverse people working together and
capitalizing on their individuality. Page shows how groups that display a range of perspectives outperform groups of
like-minded experts. Moving beyond the
politics that cloud standard debates about
diversity, he explains why difference beats
out homogeneity, whether you're talking
about citizens in a democracy or scientists
in the laboratory Page changes the way we understand diversity?how to harness
its untapped potential, how to understand
and avoid its traps, and how we can
leverage our differences for the benefit
of all.
"Scott Page has brought to our
attention a practically important
proposition: diversity of viewpoints is of the greatest importance in solving the
problems that face us individually and
collectively. Diversity among a group of
problem solvers is more important than
individual excellence. Page's exposition
remarkably combines lightness and
breadth of knowledge with rigor and evidence."?Kenneth J. Arrow,
Nobel Prize-winning economist
