Abstract: We apply tournament theory to explain the process within which 
selection of named professorships takes place and a procedural justice test 
to justify winning the named professorship tournament. Specifically, we 
estimate the probability that management professors hold one of the highest 
rewards for academic research productivity, a named professorship, as a 
function of his or her research credentials, as measured by the number of 
articles published in a small core of elite management journals. 
Alphabetically, these are Academy of Management Journal, Academy of 
Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of Operations 
Management, Management Science, Operations Research, Organization Science, 
and Strategic Management Journal. Although each of the eight journals is 
positively related to the probability of attaining a named professorship, 
the Academy of Management Review and the Academy of Management Journal 
emerge as the two most influential management journals.
