CALL FOR PAPERS
JOURNAL OF THE OPERATIONAL RESEARCH SOCIETY
Special issue of JORS on
Knowledge Management and Intellectual Capital
Guest Editors
John S. Edwards and Elayne Coakes
This special issue of JORS, due to be published in 2002, will be dedicated to papers
on the related subjects of knowledge management and intellectual capital. It is clear
that operational researchers have contributions to offer to the area, especially by
bringing holistic and multi-disciplinary perspectives. These might include case
studies; theoretical developments; or agenda-setting contributions; as well as
analyses that are qualitative, quantitative, or a mixture of the two. A particular aim
for this special issue is to address the needs of practitioners as well as academics
by achieving a balance between theory and practice, and especially covering the
middle ground where the two meet. [Note that a separate statement summarising the
contribution of the paper to the practice or theory of OR must now accompany all
papers submitted to JORS.]
Contributions are invited on any aspect of knowledge management and/or
intellectual capital, including (but not limited to) the following:
