Dear readers of HERMES,

Welcome to this new issue of HERMES, volume 47, October 2011. With this latest volume, we are happy to introduce you to the journal’s new name:

The change of name is motivated by the merger of Aarhus University and Aarhus School of Business which has been hosting the journal for the past 24 years. In the new and stronger university, we are now part of Denmark’s largest business school known as Business and Social Sciences. In this new institutional context, we have decided to strengthen our focus on the scientific issues and challenges associated with the bridging of business language and business communication as we believe this development is becoming an ever more salient aspect of research in the management of modern business organizations. This is what we wanted to reflect in the new name of the journal.

Together with our contributors, we are delighted to continue disseminating new and original knowledge in the field, and we hereby invite all our readers to join us in this mission.

Best regards,
The Editors
