According to editor-in-chief Adam Rapp, Ph.D., Professor & Executive Director of the Ralph and Luci Schey Sales Centre at Ohio University, Mangus was selected for the position from a large pool of applicants based on their research records and JPSSM review history.

“Stephanie is an incredible addition to the new editorial staff and the journal is fortunate to have her on the team. She has been a very productive researcher with a dedication to service and supporting other sales researchers. I am sure that she will help advance the journal and bring greater awareness to sales research,” said Rapp.

As abstracts editor, Mangus will lead the Abstracts Review Board in producing bi-annual publications in JPSSM that highlight and promote work in the sales discipline across the academy.
