The goal of the Engagement and Practice Impact Editor is to help authors (1) promote and increase the visibility of their published research for a general audience and (2) facilitate and increase the practice impact of their work.

In particular, the Engagement and Practice Impact Editor manages the Practice Advisory Board, which consists of highly accomplished and experienced executives who write commentaries on selected articles to discuss their practical relevance, and engages in other activities that enhance the connection of Management Science with practice.

The Engagement and Practice Impact Editor supports the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board of Management Science in developing and refining the journal’s strategy in promoting to a general audience practice-relevant research that meets the highest standards of rigor and in strengthening the interaction between research and practice.
