Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

IJDSRM publishes scholarly empirical and theoretical research articles that have a high impact on the field of management and decision making. The journal actively fosters the exchange of theoretical as well as practical views, case-based experiences and state-of-the-art applications, which ultimately shape contemporary management and decision making trends in the highly competitive SME sector, extending also to large organisations, institutions and the public-sector.

True management insight is elicited only by comprehending a whole that is more than the sum of its parts. Decision sciences, risk and management therefore form a trinity for contemporary decision-making theory and practice, in essence reflecting the interaction between quantitative models and techniques, uncertainty modelling, qualitative and procedural approaches, respectively. At the same time, developments taking place around the world point that this multidimensional trend extends its reach both within and beyond the business world, including the public sector and the broader institutional level, which are also actively seeking improved efficiency, higher productivity and results-driven policy making and implementation.

 Go Top  Objectives

IJDSRM aims to cultivate a multidisciplinary, as well as a thorough and analytic approach, to management and decision-making. It sets out to achieve its aims by promoting high-quality research, integration of scientific methods and research agendas, and sharing of practitioner experience and insight, as applied in the context of decision sciences, risk and management. Explicit and multidisciplinary research in these areas is particularly encouraged.

In addition IJDSRM maintains an international scope and a high-standard refereeing process for achieving its objectives. The journal welcomes research that advances, extends, or combines explicit or multidisciplinary decision science, risk and management research into novel schools of thought, as well as seminal and niche-shaping approaches, that allow decision makers to gain better insights into structured or unstructured and complex management problems that extend from the operational level all the way to strategic.

 Go Top  Readership

IJDSRM shapes its content from the research needs of a wide-ranging, but tightly focused set of groups that are actively involved in shaping and advancing the decision making, risk and management fields, including academics and researchers from management, operations research, finance, economics, information systems and technology, as well as decision-making stakeholder groups including company executives, government and policy makers, entrepreneurs and SMEs, regional and international institutions, non-governmental organisations and public-private-partnerships worldwide.
