Aims and Scope
Description
International Journal of Operations Research (IJOR) reports on developments in Operations Research, Information Systems, and Management Sciences, including the latest research results and applications. Original contributions and review articles describe the state of the art in specific fields, while there are shorter critical assessments of particular management techniques. IJORis both stimulating reading and a source for practicing decision makers, specialists in management services, operational research workers and management scientists, management consultants, academics, students, and research personnel. The aim is to meet the needs of accelerating technological change and changes in the global economy. The review of material for publication in the journal reflects this aim.
Readership
Operations Research Workers, Practicing Managers, Policy Makers and Administrators, Specialists in Management Services, Management Scientists, Management Consultants, Students, and Research Personnel.
