Message from the Chief Editor and Founder of IJMP , Huseyin ARASLI:

Welcome to the first issue of the International Journal of Management Perspectives – a quarterly double - blind-reviewed scholarly journal and a channel for the sharing of   management, business and tourism issues as it concerns the dynamic relations between international academics, students and practitioners regarding theories, methods and applications related with new developments and perspectives in the field of management, business and tourism. Setting the stage for the future work of the first issue contains articles from a broad spectrum of international scholars who are primarily concerned with assessing fraud risk, questioning the role of internet usage in destination marketing, analyzing regional growth change in tourism, the role of supply chain integration in quality management and consumer online behavior in e-transactions in different geographies.

Initial thanks go to Managing Editor Erdogan H. Ekiz  for the opportunity to make the first issue a great start and a reality. It was he who supported and encouraged us in producing, what we hope will be, a modest contribution to management, tourism  and business fields. Thanks go to all the reviewers who took it upon themselves to meet deadlines and follow agreed upon procedures so that we would be in the best possible shape for the first issue of the Journal. 

My appreciation to the Administration of the INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND TOURISM SOCIETY and INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC SOCIETY; to the heads of the two brilliant general mangers  for their willingness to facilitate the development of the Journal and our other efforts  and for providing the necessary technical and moral support that such an undertaking requires. Thanks also to the founder and chief editor of International Journal of  Economic  Perspectives, Salih  Katircioglu  and his managing editor who helped to ensure that the goal of creating and publishing the IJMP first issue would be realized. A special thanks goes to our Gorselaj Ltd’s best art designer, Darya Alekseeva, who energetically volunteered to lead in the creative process of constructing the website for the society and its outstanding asset, IJMP.

Yours sincerely,

Huseyin ARASLI, Chief Editor
