The Operations Management Department welcomes submissions of research papers that explore both the theory and practice of producing and delivering goods and services. Our scope encompasses the entire supply chain: from sourcing raw materials and managing suppliers (upstream) through designing and producing products and services (firm processes) to distribution and recycling (downstream), emphasizing effective and innovative utilization of human, financial, and technological resources. We are particularly interested in the role of technology, people, and society in shaping contemporary business operations. The department embraces diverse research methodologies. Whatever method is used, we invite submissions that demonstrate rigorous analysis and offer substantial managerial insights.
