2 - 4 February 2010
Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
more details

IJADS is a double-blind refereed international journal whose focus is to promote the infusion of the functional and behavioural areas of business with the concepts and methodologies of the decision sciences and information systems. IJADS distinguishes itself as a business journal with an explicit focus on modelling and applied decision-making.

The thrust of IJADS is to provide practical guidance to decision makers and practicing managers by publishing papers that bridge the gap between theory and practice of decision sciences and information systems in business, industry, government and academia. Papers published in the journal must contain some link to practice through realistically detailed examples or real applications. Author(s) are required to demonstrate the managerial relevance and implications of the decision problem. The decision-making environment may include single or multiple decision makers considering single or multiple criteria in operational or strategic domains. IJADS draws on a wide range of disciplines, including accounting, decision sciences and management science, finance, information systems, marketing, operations and business process management and strategic and organisational management.

IJADS is the flagship journal of Alpha Iota Delta, the international honor society in decision sciences and information systems.

Objectives

Papers published in IJADS should not only meet high standards of research rigour and originality, but also embrace managerial relevance. The principal objective of the journal is to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies, practicing managers, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the practical applications of decision sciences. IJADS is interested but not confined to papers that focus on one or more of the following dimensions:

Define new problem domains in managerial decision-making
Develop new methodologies to formulate decision problems
Apply decision sciences and/or information systems methods uniquely to interesting problems.

Readership

The audience for IJADS includes anyone interested in practical aspects of decision sciences and information systems. Because decision sciences and information systems are highly interdisciplinary, our audience includes the research community specialists and practitioners who work as consultants or in-house experts in business, industry, and government and those who study or teach courses in decision sciences, information systems, or related disciplines in academia.

Contents

IJADS publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, management reports, book reviews, notes, and commentaries. Special Issues devoted to important topics in decision sciences and information systems will occasionally be published.
