Extract

I fondly recall the very first gathering of founding editors, spearheaded by Anne Tsui, roughly two decades ago in San Francisco. We engaged in thorough discussions about the journal's direction, policies, and even plans for the inaugural issue, which concluded with a delightful dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. Management and Organization Review (MOR) has a plethora of achievements to celebrate and commend, thanks to the diligent, dedicated, and meticulous work carried out over the past 20 years by our collective community, including editors, authors, reviewers, and partners. This is particularly true for our distinguished editors-in-chief and editors, who span multiple generations. I am proud of my involvement and contribution to the journal's early development and to have witnessed its remarkable growth.
