Manufacturing and Service Operations Management

MSOM Young Scholar Prize

Starting in 2013, the annual MSOM Young Scholar Prize recognizes exceptional young researchers who have made outstanding contributions to scholarship in operations management. Scholars who have been 10 full years or less since PhD graduation on January 31st of the year in which they are nominated are eligible. The decision on the award will be made by the MSOM Young Scholar Award Committee. Nominations are made to the Committee Chair by anyone, including the nominee, and consist of a statement of eligibility, a curriculum vitae, statement of major contributions of no more than three pages (may be prepared by the nominee) and three letters of nomination. The award includes a cash prize of $1000. In the event that more than one person is chosen to receive the award, the cash prize will be divided up equally among the recipients.

M&SOM Best Paper Award

Each year, the Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Society selects one paper for the Management Science Best Paper Award. This paper is deemed most deserving for its contribution to the theory and practice of operations management.

Best OM Paper in Operations Research Award

Starting 2016, the award is presented biennially to the manuscript deemed to have made the most significant contribution to the theory and practice of operations management published in the preceding four years in Operations Research. The editorial board of Operations Research selects the finalists through a voting process, and a dedicated committee determines the winners.
