   Objectives

IJMOR aims to help professionals working in the field of mathematics, operational research and management science, industrial engineering, information systems, and business, academic educators, industry consultants, and practitioners to contribute, to disseminate and to learn from each other’s work. A global business perspective and its implications are emphasised. IJMOR will

• raise the awareness of importance of applications of mathematics in operational research and management science
• focus on excellence in developing operational research and management science techniques, models and solution methodology to solve problems in the information-intensive global society
• provide insights regarding the latest operational research and management science techniques and applications, and
• offer a networking forum for academics, mathematicians, operational research and management scientists and practitioners, professionals and entrepreneurs.

   Readership

IJMOR is a forum to help academics and researchers, applied mathematicians, practitioners, and operations and management science professionals, in all areas of business applications. It will enable academics and practitioners working in the field of applied mathematics, and mathematical theory and applications in operational research and management science, to discuss important mathematical ideas and applications, and disseminate information for mutual learning and pursue fundamental research in operational research and management science.
