Special Issue of Management Science : Business and Climate Change

Submission Deadline Extended to February 28, 2021

Climate change poses major risks and opportunities for a wide array of companies and industries—and to society at large. This special issue seeks to spur research that provides critical insights to managers who need to adjust how they plan, measure, site, forecast, innovate, develop products and services, and manage supply chains in light of opportunities to mitigate climate change and adapt to climate change’s physical consequences and regulatory changes. Of course, “climate change” is a “topic” that needs to be studied from several different functional lenses, including Accounting and Finance, Business Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Operations, Organizations, and in particular, cross-disciplinary ones.

Special Issue on Management Science Blockchains and Crypto Economics

Submission Deadline Extended to
August 31, 2021

Management Science is pleased to announce a Special Issue on Blockchains and Crypto Economics. The rise of blockchains and digital finance leads us to rethink managerial decision-making, handling supply chain processes, storing and analyzing data, and executing financial transactions. Industry advances also call for new theory, mechanisms, and comprehensive empirical studies to inform the design of various systems and measure their impact on society, especially in research areas represented by Management Science, including but not limited to accounting, finance, healthcare, operations, marketing, and stochastic systems. This special issue aims at collecting high quality studies that advance research frontiers and guide managerial practices.
