Operational research has become an indispensable tool in business and military applications. Modelling and analysis play major roles in abstract representation of business systems and data analysis and the subsequent generation of relevant information for making more accurate decisions. IJMOR covers new mathematical theory and applications in OR and management science models and techniques for solving problems in manufacturing and service organisations. Key problem areas include marketing, design, engineering, production, logistics, procurement, finance and accounting, information systems and supply chains.
Topics covered include
- Mathematical theory/applications
- Applications of mathematics in management science
- Innovative applications of mathematics in optimisation
- Mathematics in developing computational theory/applications
- Algorithms for efficient solution methodology
- Mathematics of discrete/continuous/stochastic optimisation
- Stochastic theory/models, statistical tools/techniques

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.

Candidate crush
3 June, 2024
The classic "secretary problem" involves interviewing job candidates in a random order. Candidates are interviewed one by one, and the interviewer ranks them. After each interview, the interviewer must either accept or reject the candidate. If they accept a candidate, the process stops; otherwise, the next candidate is interviewed and so on. Of course, if a candidate is accepted then a subsequent candidate who may well be better suited to the job will never be interviewed and so never selected. Nevertheless, the goal is to maximize the probability of selecting the best candidate. Since its introduction in the 1950s, this problem has been researched extensively because it is a fundamental example of optimal stopping problems. Many variants of the problem, such as multiple choices, regret-permit, and weighted versions, have been studied. Research in the International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research has looked at a variant on the secretary problem. Yu Wu of Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, explains that in this variant the interviewer has a "look-ahead privilege" and can see some of the details regarding subsequent candidates before making a decision about the current interviewee at each step. Wu defines the degree of look-ahead privilege as the number of candidates interviewed between the first interview and the final decision [...]
