Management Science

Management Science is a scholarly journal that publishes scientific research on the practice of management. Within our scope are all aspects of management related to strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, information technology, and organizations as well as all functional areas of business, such as accounting, finance, marketing, and operations. We include studies on organizational, managerial, and individual decision making, from both normative and descriptive perspectives. Our articles are primarily based on the foundational disciplines of economics, mathematics, psychology, sociology, and statistics, and we encourage cross-functional, multidisciplinary research that reflects the diversity of the management science professions. Our interest extends to managerial issues in diverse organizational forms, such as for-profit and nonprofit firms, private and public sector institutions, and formal and informal networks of individuals. We welcome both empirical (field or lab) and theoretical contributions.

Topics covered in Management Science include:
Accounting Business Strategy Decision Analysis Entrepreneurship and Innovation Finance Information Systems	Marketing Operations Management Optimization and Modeling Organizations Stochastic Models and Simulation

 

Management Science also strives to stimulate research in emerging domains created by economic globalization, public policy shifts, technological improvements, and trends in management practice. Its audience includes academics at business and engineering schools and managers open to the application of quantitative methods in business.

"BusinessWeek continues to include four INFORMS journals (Marketing Science, Operations Research, Management Science, and Information Systems Research) among the top 20 journals valued by business school deans and academic program directors."

Announcing a New Department: Behavioral Economics

Given the tremendous growth and importance of behavioral economics research and building on the success of our Behavioral Economics and Finance Special Issue (which is scheduled to appear in the January 2012 issue), we have created a new department in Management Science: Behavioral Economics.

The Behavioral Economics Department seeks to publish original research broadly related to behavioral economics. We welcome laboratory experiments, field studies, and empirical and theoretical papers. The goal of the Department is to promote research on incentives and behavior in domains such as markets, groups and individual decision making. In the cross-disciplinary tradition of Management Science, we encourage research that draws ideas from multiple disciplines including economics, psychology, sociology, and statistics to provide novel insights on behavioral economics. In all cases, manuscripts should provide high-quality original approaches to behavioral economics, should be motivated such that the importance of the results is clear to nonspecialists, and should have important managerial implications for business and public policy.

The Behavioral Economics department editors (DEs) are Uri Gneezy (University of California at San Diego), Teck-Hua Ho (University of California, Berkeley), and John List (University of Chicago). See our submission guidelines and log in to our online submission site to submit a manuscript.
