From Editors the Synchronicity Recent news stories reported that scientists have created the world's most precise clock. Using liquid mercury and lasers, this new and improved clock can measure the shortest spans of time ever recorded. It can synchronize, to the quadrillionth of a second, the technological networks that drive our lives, from communication grids to global positioning systems. A better clock, said the scientists, will help everything run just a little more smoothly. Synchronicity, with time, and with the times, has become one of our biggest chal- management educators and managers who want to stay synchronized with a quickly evolving marketplace—and even move one step ahead. As the only publication dedicat- ed to issues unique to business education, BizEd will strive to keep management educa- tors and corporations in sync with what's happening in the world of business, and more important, with each other. Let us introduce ourselves: Sharon Shinn is a graduate of Northwestern University (BSJ '79), and has more than 20 years' experience in journalism. Tricia Bisoux is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis (BA '91, MA '94), with six years' experience as an editor and instructor. We are honored now to be working with AACSB International to create this publication. Most publications want to hear from readers, but we place a spe- lenges, especially when it comes to business and management education. Whether we're on a business school or corporate campus, we try to stay connected with the world via cell phones, laptops, handhelds, and the Web. But the more we try to keep in sync with the world, the more elusive that goal may seem. Scientists may have devised a better clock, but staying ahead of trends in business and education requires different kinds of tools. AACSB International has created BizEd to be just such a tool. It is designed for cial importance on receiving your letters, e-mails, and submissions to the "Your Turn" and features pages. We invite you to contact us at BizEd.edit@aacsb.edu with your ideas and feedback. As the editors of BizEd, we want this publication to be a forum for the exchange of ideas about what's important to business educators and the businesses they ultimately serve. We welcome you to our premiere issue! Although we may not be able to beat the scientists' new clock, we'll work to keep time with the trends and make BizEd an indispensable tool for management educators around the globe.
