When elected officials control the maps, they are not just participating in democracy. They are engineering the habitat in which democracy thrives or languishes. That makes redistricting not only a political problem, but also an operations research problem.
INFORMS has awarded Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) its 2026 Franz Edelman Award for Achievement in Advanced Analytics, Operations Research and Management Science, for reengineering how global cloud infrastructure is planned and delivered, applying advanced analytics and AI to orchestrate complex fulfillment decisions across its rapidly expanding data center network.
In the rush to adopt artificial intelligence, many employers are now requiring that employees use AI tools. As you’re using AI, be intentional and selective. It’s critical that you know yourself. Research published in Management Science found that AI is most valuable for people who understand their own abilities and limitations. Assess yourself, so you can factor this into your process for incorporating AI into your work.

New research in the INFORMS journal Management Science finds that it's not the quantity of LinkedIn connections that you have, but the quality, when it comes to helping you search for a new job.
Before online social networks came along, finding a job was often times a matter of who you knew. The digital age hasn’t debunked that conventional wisdom. But it has deluded some into believing that having hundreds of connections on LinkedIn or other professional social networks will make their next job search quicker and more successful.
