This competition seeks to reward unpublished OM research papers with a high potential or realized impact on practice. Work not implemented yet may be considered, as long as potential benefits to practice can be ascertained with a high level of confidence. More generally, validity (i.e., the extent to which the results presented do or would apply in practice) is a key evaluation criteria.

Starting 2013, the award is given to the manuscript judged to be most deserving for its contribution to the theory and practice of operations management among all operations papers published in the past 3 years at Management Science. For each award, finalists were selected from among a set of nominated papers by the editorial board of Management Science, and the winners were selected by a vote of the society members.

MSOM recognizes outstanding research and scholarship in operations management by electing a limited number of MSOM Fellows each year. Election as an MSOM Fellow is a rare distinction, comparable with membership in Omega Rho.

The award was created to recognize individuals whose distinguished service to MSOM has helped to advance significantly the goals and objectives of the Society. The award is given annually, usually to a member of MSOM. Typically, recipients of this award have provided exceptional leadership in the society through multiple roles, including: journal editor, MSOM Society / SIG officer, or chair of an MSOM / SIG conference. At the discretion of the Award Committee, it may be given to a group of individuals (at least one of whom belongs to MSOM) who have worked jointly on a common project (in which case the prize money is divided among the group). 

This award is given annually for papers judged to be the best in the field of Operations Management.
