     1. Introduction

     

    The tenth annual international conference of the Chinese scholars Association for Management Science and Engineering (CSAMSE) will be held on July 15-18, 2017 at Sun Yat-sen Business School, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.

    The Chinese Scholars Association for Management Science and Engineering (CSAMSE) is a highly recognized and rapidly growing community of scholars, from both overseas and mainland China, in the field of Management Science and Engineering (MSE), who are united by a common interest to promote the communication between academia and industry and to improve management theory and practice in China. Over the past 10 years, our annual conference has developed into a great meeting place to understand the latest business developments in China and to keep abreast of the cutting edge research ideas in Management Science and Engineering. For information about the past conferences, please visit csamse.cn.

    The theme of the 2017 CSAMSE conference, Management Innovation: Interface and Integration, reflects our desire to promote inter-disciplinary research and the theory-practice dialogue. We invite scholars in MSE, broadly defined, from around the world to present their research at the conference. Of course, papers that are in line with the conference theme are especially welcome.

    As in the past, we will invite world-renown scholars and industry thought leaders to give keynote speeches and lead panel discussions. Although this is an ongoing process, we are pleased to announce that Dr. Hau L. Lee, the Thoma Professor of the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University and Dr. Teck Hua Ho, Deputy President of the National University of Singapore and the Chief Editor of Management Science will be our keynote speakers this year. More updated information will be announced on the conference website.

    The CSAMSE Young Scholars Colloquium will take place again at the 2017 CSAMSE conference.  We cordially invite young scholars (assistant/associate professors and advanced doctoral students) to the colloquium that will feature panel discussions with leading academics who have extensive research and senior editorial experiences. The purpose of this colloquium is to bring together young scholars in the field of Management Science and Engineering to discuss the challenges they face in research and in the process of publishing in top-tier journals. To ensure the quality and the effectiveness of the colloquium, attendees are limited to 60 in total. Pre-registration at the conference website is required for the colloquium and seats are assigned on a first-come first-served basis.  

    The CSAMSE Female Scholars Luncheon provides a great networking opportunity to discuss challenges in career development and to share experiences that are unique for female scholars in operations research, operations management and industrial engineering. The Luncheon welcomes female scholars at various stages of their career (assistant/associate/full professors, as well as doctoral students) to join the event. As usual, we will have several guests to join us and share their thoughts and experiences.

    We will be launching the CSAMSE Management Science Practice Award this year. It is a prestigious award to recognize an outstanding piece of work that is rooted in the principles of Management Science and Engineering and has a significant impact on practice. The Award is for an individual or a group of people. An eligible application must provide evidence of practical impact, which is broadly defined to be any contribution to a business or an organization in terms of performance improvements or changes in how practitioners approach a real-world problem. The inaugural award will be given at the conference. More details about the award and the application process can be found in the attachment “CSAMSE Management Science Practice Award,” which is also available on the conference website.

    Another significant event for the 2017 conference is the Tenth Anniversary Celebration of CSAMSE. Thanks to your support, the association has gone through its first 10 years to become an important global platform for the development of the management science and engineering field in China. The organizing committee sincerely and enthusiastically invites all of you to come and celebrate this amazing achievement together.
