Aims & Scope
Management Science is a scholarly journal that publishes scientific research on the theory and practice of management.
The journal includes within its scope all aspects of management related to strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, and organizations as well as all functional areas of business, such as accounting, finance, information systems, marketing, and operations.
The journal includes studies on organizational, managerial, group and individual decision making, from both normative and descriptive perspectives.
The articles are primarily based on the foundational disciplines of computer science, economics, mathematics, psychology, sociology, and statistics, but cross-functional, multidisciplinary research that reflects the diversity of the management science professions is also encouraged.
The journal interest extends to managerial issues in diverse organizational forms, such as for-profit and nonprofit firms, private and public sector institutions, and formal and informal networks of individuals.
We welcome theoretical, experimental (field or lab) and empirical contributions.
The unifying thread of all Management Science articles is an analytical focus on improving the understanding of management.
An acceptable manuscript must be relevant to the theory or practice of management, must meet high standards of rigor, and must be of broad interest to the community of management science scholars.
