Ithaca, N.Y., June 22, 2004 - The Cornell Hotel and Restaurant Administration Quarterly has won its second Emerald Golden Page Award for publishing distinctive research on the hospitality industry. The academic journal, known widely as the Cornell Quarterly, was chosen to receive this prestigious award for its "practical usability of research."
The Golden Page Awards are presented annually to a select group of management periodicals that are determined by industry and academic experts to have consistently delivered excellent articles throughout a calendar year. The awards are sponsored by Emerald Management Reviews, a UK-based publisher specializing in management issues.
The Cornell Quarterly, published by Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration for 45 years, presents practical research findings for leaders in the hospitality industry. Readers are senior executives and managers in the travel, tourism, gaming, hotel, airline and restaurant management businesses, as well as faculty from leading universities.
The Cornell Quarterly is published by the School's Center for Hospitality Research, under the direction of its executive director, Hotel School professor Gary Thompson. Professor Michael Sturman is editor of The Quarterly, which also won the award in 2002. "I am pleased to see that our content was recognized for its practical usability," Sturman said.
