Cornell’s hospitality journal to be published by Sage Publications

Travel News Asia 28 August 2003

Cornell Hotel and Restaurant Administration Quarterly will be published and distributed by Sage Publications starting in January 2004, it was announced this week.

Considered as one of the top journals on hospitality research in the world, the Cornell Quarterly, as it is known, covers marketing, finance, human resources, international development, travel and tourism, and management in the hospitality industry. It is produced by the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration’s Center for Hospitality Research (CHR).

Widely used in the classroom and cited by university faculty, the journal seeks to make top-flight research findings accessible to practitioners in hospitality, one of the world’s largest, fastest-growing industries. First published in 1960, the Cornell Quarterly won a 2002 Emerald Golden Page Award for practical usability of research in 2002 and was ranked No. 1 in a 2001 Management Journal Content Guide, for practical implications in the hospitality and tourism industry.

Recent newsworthy topics from the Cornell HRA Quarterly include studies that found: smoke-free regulations do not diminish restaurant revenues; hotel discounting is destructive to revenues in the long run; and hotels changed few security measures in the year following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Other topics from hospitality’s perspective include: arbitration versus mediation as a way to resolve discrimination claims; the effect of the new legal standard for “mixed motive” instructions in discrimination claims; sexual harassment; and union organization.

Sage, an independent global publisher of journals, books, textbooks, electronic media and other products for scholarly, educational and professional markets, is known for its high-quality publications in the social sciences.

Michael Sturman, editor of the Cornell Quarterly, stated: “I am very excited about the collaboration. Sage has an extensive list of titles in hospitality publishing and many compelling ideas about how the journal will be able to expand its reach. I think that the Cornell Quarterly will experience exceptional growth in the next few years, as Sage brings great competencies, and we will see vastly improved customer service for both institutional and individual subscribers.”

Blaise Simqu, executive vice president of the higher education group at Sage, stated: “We are pleased to be working with the Cornell Quarterly because it fits across so many of the disciplines that Sage does well – management, marketing, human resources – and gives both The Center for Hospitality Research and Sage a major foothold to further expand in new ways. The Cornell Quarterly's unique academic collaboration with industry is particularly exciting.”
