Management Science Roundup

We have in Management Science an outstanding scientific journal. Our members can read it and be proud of it. We now must make INTERFACES, and particularly the Management Science Roundup section, a vehicle to abandon our defensive position when it comes to communicating with management.

Management Science Roundup is particularly interested in letting people know what it is really like to be out there using a management science approach to solve or help solve management problems in industry, government, education, and society in general. From this point of view, ingenuity, salesmanship, and insight into problem definition are as important as the particular methodology used in solving a given problem.
