Journal of Applied Decision Sciences (IJADS) (http://www.inderscience.com/ijads)
in cooperation with Inderscience Publishers in the
IJADS, the flagship journal of Alpha Iota Delta, is a double-blind refereed international journal whose focus is to promote the infusion of the functional and behavioral 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 modeling 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 organizational management.
Papers published in IJADS should not only meet high standards of research rigor 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.
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.
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.
IJADS is a forum for exchange of research findings, analysis, information, and knowledge in areas which include but are not limited to: Accounting, Decision Sciences and Management Science, Finance, Information Management and Systems, Marketing, Operations and Business Process Management, and Strategic and Organizational Management.
IJADS promises to be a respectable academic journal in Decision Sciences. The Editorial Board of IJADS, comprised of over 80 renowned scholars and researchers from 20 different countries, plans to publish the inaugural issue of the Journal in September 2008. Author(s) may submit their paper in the form of an MS Word file attached to an e-mail to the IJADS Editor-in-Chief below:

The Academy has allocated time and space during the Annual Meeting PDW program for several groups to hold their independent programs that fall outside of the Academy’s review process. For more information on these groups, click on the appropriate link below: PDW Chair: Chi Sum Wong, Chinese University of Hong Kong, cswong@baf.msmail.cuhk.edu.hk The Asia Academy of Management is designed to encourage management research, education and knowledge dissemination that are of relevance to management in Asia. The Asia Academy is a global organization that welcomes both ethnic Asian and non-ethnic Asian researchers and managers who are interested in management issues relevant to Asia. The mission of the Asia Academy is to assume global leadership in the advancement of management theory, research and education of relevance to Asia. In August 1997, more than 60 Academy of Management conference participants met and agreed to set up the Asia Academy of Management with the above mission. They endorsed the principle that the Asia Academy should be an independent organization run in Asia, with links to the Academy of Management and other scholarly organizations. The objective of the Asia Academy is thus to encourage contextualized management research with Asia relevance towards global contribution to scholarship. Iberoamerican Academy of Management PDW Chair: Pascual Berrone, IESE Business School, pberrone@iese.edu About the Iberoamerican Academy of ManagementThe Iberoamerican Academy of Management was founded in 1997 and is an affiliate of the Academy of Management. There are two primary objectives of the Iberoamerican Academy. First, to foster the general advancement of knowledge in the theory and practice of management among Iberoamerican scholars and/or those academics interested in Iberoamerican issues. Iberoamerica is defined broadly to include all of Latin America, Latino populations in North America, and Spain/Portugal. Second, to perform and support educational activities that contribute to intellectual and operational leadership in the field of management within an Iberoamerican context. The Iberoamerican Academy of Management has eight duly constituted committees, an advisory board and an executive committee consisting of a president and three vice-presidents ************************************************************************
