Call for Papers: Manufacturing & Service Operations Management—Special Issue on Behavioral Issues in Operations Management

摘要

Over the past 10 years, the breadth of research in operations management (OM) has expanded significantly. Researchers have moved beyond centralized models to investigate microfoundations for aggregate-level analysis, focusing on individual incentives and game-theoretic approaches. Empirical and experimental work has developed to test assumptions of these models and to document casual observations of departures from expected-utility maximization. Both of these trends are important, and together they suggest a need for the further understanding of the impact of individual behavior in OM research.
