Concluding Remarks

Abstract

All too often in scholarly publications, two questions typically go unanswered – so what and who cares? Stated in less crass terms, what difference does a particular publication make and to what extent are the thoughts and ideas of the authors used in a way that organizations and the people who populate then are better off? It is common practice for academics to be rewarded for writing to other academics in arcane journals in prose that is convoluted at best and frequently recycles old ideas or seeks to reaffirm the findings of others. In other words, a large part of traditional academic literature fails both tests.
