From the editor.(Editorial)(Brief article)

The Review of Business has passed another milestone. 2008 is the Journal's 40th year of operation! It started in 1968 under the editorial helm of Dr. Francis Lees of the Economics and Finance Department, as a newsletter focused on business activities of our Queens County. Thank you Dr. Lees, and many thanks to a series of good editors that brought the Journal to the level it has attained, which enabled it to win the AUBER Award in 1998 for quality in publication. I am very grateful to Larry Boone, Brenda Massetti, and our Associate Editor Maxine Brady for their assistance as I took on the new task as editor of this Journal.

The main focus of the Journal on applied research will remain the same, although other avenues of research will not be excluded. In time, the scope of articles will become more global in their coverage; a reflection of the needs of our readership and the increasing impact of how the influence of policies in one country affects others ever more directly.

This is a special issue that was produced with the assistance of a guest editor, Dr. F. Victor Lu. Dr. Lu is the chair of the CIS/DS Department of the Tobin College of Business, and he will shed some more light on the content of this issue.
