Dear Colleagues,
As this unusual and painful year ends and we look forward to more "normal" times, I would like to take this opportunity to thank current and former members of the editorial board, referees, authors, and the INFORMS publications office for all their hard work on behalf of the journal. Together, we have made some important changes to Management Science to help better serve and promote research conducted by the entire community, see attached "From the Editor."
These changes are making an impact! Indeed, as pointed out by the ad hoc committee established by INFORMS in 2020 to review the journal, "The status of the journal in academia is improving on all dimensions. Keep the course."
Best Wishes for the New Year,
David Simchi-Levi
