    We are extending the abstract submission deadline upon request. The ISB – POMS Workshop 2024 will showcase cutting-edge academic research on "Operations Management Advances in Emerging Markets." 

    Website: ISB-POMS Workshop 2024

    Topics: The workshop will focus on diverse yet related topics such as agriculture and food supply chains, healthcare operations, pharmaceutical supply networks, retail operations, risk management, and sustainability that are motivated by problems in emerging economies, using datasets from these settings and/or has policy implications for these contexts. However, these attributes are not necessary for submission. All methodologies (analytical modeling, empirical modeling, statistics) are welcome, and the emphasis is on the rigorous execution of these methodologies and the practical relevance of the results.

    Format: The workshop will comprise a single track of approximately ten high-quality presentations over 1.5 working days. Each presentation will be 30 minutes long, followed by 15 minutes of discussion. In addition to the presentations, the workshop program will include keynote talks and a dedicated slot for a poster session featuring the work of PhD students.

It should describe the contextual motivation of the research problem, a brief discussion of the methodology used, the main results, and policy / managerial implications. The abstract should also clearly state whether the submission is toward the presentation track or the poster session. Submissions will be peer-reviewed, and final acceptance decisions will be communicated by May 20, 2024.
