About

The upcoming annual ISB-POMS workshop is aimed at showcasing cutting-edge academic research in the area of “Operations and Supply Chain Management in Emerging Markets”

Topics: The workshop will focus on diverse yet related topics such as sustainability, healthcare operations, risk management, agriculture and food supply chains, retail operations, pharmaceutical supply chain, work that is motivated by problems in emerging economies, uses datasets from these settings and/or has policy implications for these contexts. However, these attributes are not necessary for submission. All methodologies (analytical modelling, empirical modelling, statistics) are welcome, and the emphasis is on the rigorous execution of these methodologies and the practical relevance of the results.

Format: The workshop will comprise a single track of approximately ten high-quality presentations over 1.5 working days. Each presentation will be of 30 minutes duration followed by 15 minutes of discussion. In addition to the presentations, the workshop program will include keynote talks and a dedicated slot for a poster session featuring the work of PhD students.
