jom-topic-selection

separate

Use when shaping or screening a research question for the Journal of Operations Management (JOM) — testing whether operations is genuinely at the heart of the question, whether the work can be empirical, and which of JOM's 12 Departments should route it (vs. analytical OM venues like M&SOM / Management Science / Operations Research).

When to use

• shaping a research question for JOM
• screening a research question for JOM
• testing if operations is at the heart of the question
• testing if the work can be empirical
• routing to one of JOM's 12 Departments
• distinguishing JOM fit from analytical OM venues

When not to use

• purely analytical models
• optimization techniques
• operations research
• industrial engineering
• analytical OM journals
• generic management or marketing questions where operations is only the setting
