    Dear Colleagues,

     

    In my last blog, I informed the community that Management Science is organizing a conference to celebrate the publication of the 65th volume of the journal. The conference will be held at Questrom School of Business, Boston University, from May 20th to May 21st, 2019. The focus of the conference is "Innovations in the Science and Practice of Management," with an emphasis on integrating theory and practice. The conference will feature plenary and invited speakers across all areas of interest to the journal. Invited talks will be followed by a discussion. Speakers are expected to submit a manuscript that will be reviewed by the editorial team.  These manuscripts, after proper review, will be published in a special issue of Management Science.

     

    Since that announcement, I received enthusiastic support for the vision and the plan for the anniversary celebration as well as suggestions for invited speakers. A common request was for more information about the event. This is now available at the event website http://meetatbu.com/managementscience65/

     

    I hope you will find the conference of interest and you will participate in celebrating the journal's important milestone.

     

    Best
