4 INFORMS Journals Now on BusinessWeek Special B-School Issue List
HANOVER, MD, November 19, 2008 - BusinessWeek has added a fourth INFORMS
journal to its list of journals used to determine the world's best
business schools, making the scientific association the publisher with
the largest number of scholarly journals on the prestigious list.
The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences
(INFORMS(r)) saw its journal Marketing Science added to the list, which
was previously published in 2006. INFORMS journals already on the list
are Operations Research, Management Science, and Information Systems
Research.
"We are honored that Business Week has determined that so many of our
journals should be used to rate the world's best business schools and
highly cited business professors," said Cynthia Barnhart, President of
INFORMS and Co-Director of the Operations Research Center at MIT, and
Mark Doherty, the association's Executive Director.
"In a publishing industry whose scholarly journals are primarily
published by large commercial publishers, we are gratified that an
independent publisher and professional association with 10,000 members
is able to make such an important mark."
The November 24, 2008 issue of BusinessWeek contains a special section,
"The Best B-Schools. According to BusinessWeek
<http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/content/nov2008/bs20081113_320726.
htm>
the magazine uses a rating of intellectual capital and two other factors
to determine the best American and international business schools. The
magazine's website states, "BusinessWeek scours 20 top academic journals
for articles published by each school's faculty, reviewing all editions
published in the previous five years."
The other factors considered by BusinessWeek, according to the
magazine's website, are a student survey and a survey of corporate
recruiters.
Several other publishers had two of their journals on the BusinessWeek
list.

1. The flagship journal Operations Research 2. Management Science, also
a flagship journal 3. Decision Analysis 4. Information Systems Research

four INFORMS journals, with a fifth, Organization Science, in its list
of academic journals used to evaluate MBA programs.
