The Operations Research / Management Science Blog

The first issue of International Journal of Applied Management Science (IJAMS) has been released. The objectives of this journal are to promote applied management sciences and provide a platform for professionals and researchers to exchange their ideas and experiences in the field. The contents include (but are not limited to) both theoretical and experimental papers in management sciences as well as relevant case studies. A list of topics including Operations Research, Decision Analysis, Industrial Engineering, Production Management and Supply Chain Management are covered.

Management science should help different managers and policy makers to make optimal, if possible, or satisfactory, at least, informed decisions. IJAMS builds six interfaces: firstly, an interface between management science theory and application; secondly, an interface between management scientists and managers; thirdly, an interface between “hard” decision models and “soft” decision models; fourthly, an interface between deterministic and probabilistic models; fifthly, an interface between a specific strategy and an individual model; and finally, an interface between a corporation and its environment, as well as the whole of society.
