IJCASE develops, integrates and promotes the study of complexity and complex systems in industry.

   Objectives

The prime objective of IJCASE is to provide a platform to network the various pure and applied science disciplines that underpin the study and design of technological and management systems in industrial companies.

   Readership

IJCASE provides a forum to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers working in the fields of technology management, operations management, engineering design, technology transfer and organisational design to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.

   Contents

IJCASE publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, book reviews, notes, commentaries and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics such as supply chain complexity, evolutionary design and the economics of operational complexity will occasionally be published.

Commentaries on papers and reports published in the Journal are encouraged. Authors will have the opportunity to respond to the commentary on their work before the entire treatment is published. Contributions may be by submission or invitation, and suggestions for Special Issues and publications are welcome.

   Subject Coverage

IJCASE will address two related areas of system design and management:

• understanding and managing system complexity (complicatedness)
• developing and applying complex system methods

Applications areas include:

• Supply chains
• Scheduling, planning and control
• Process and job design
• Product design
• Innovation processes
• Technology transfer
• Technology and operations strategy
• Sustainability
• R&D management
