Book Description

Management science in engineering (MSE) is playing an increasingly important role in modern society. In particular, the development of efficient and innovative managerial tools has significantly influenced the research progress of management science in engineering. This book identifies the main research categories of MSE, and evaluates and classifies each journal in this field. It has been developed through the joint efforts of scientific board members, many of whom are editors-in-chief of significant journals, academics, and members and fellows of various relevant societies. It will be of interest to scientists, researchers, practitioners, engineers, graduate students and upper-level undergraduates in engineering management, civil engineering, industrial engineering, environmental engineering, energy engineering, information engineering, and agricultural engineering.




Neoteric Developments in Management Science in Engineering


Book Description

Management science in engineering (MSE) is becoming increasingly important in modern society. In particular, the emergence of efficient and innovative management tools has greatly influenced the progress of management science in engineering research. As research is critical to the dissemination of cutting-edge methods, journal evaluation and classification are essential for scientists, researchers, engineers, practitioners, and graduate students. The goal of this book is to identify the major research categories in MSE and to evaluate and classify each MSE journal. This book was compiled through the combined efforts of members of scientific committees (many of whom are editors-in-chief of the most relevant journals), academics, researchers from different countries, and members of professional societies. It will be of interest to scientists, researchers, practitioners, engineers, graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the fields of engineering management, civil engineering, industrial engineering, environmental engineering, energy engineering, information engineering, and agricultural engineering.







Industrial Engineering and Operations Management II


Book Description

Based on the 2018 International Joint Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IJCIEOM) conference that took place in Lisbon, Portugal, this proceedings volume is the first of two focusing on mathematical applications in digital transformation. The different contributions in this volume explore topics such as health care, social technologies, mathematical programming applications, public transport services, new product development, industry 4.0, occupational safety, quality control, e-services, risk management, and supply chain management. Written by renowned scientists from around the world, this multidisciplinary volume serves as a reference on industrial engineering and operations management and as a source on current findings for researchers and students who focus in business models, digital literacy and technology in education, logistics, production and information systems, and operations management.




Advances in Urban Engineering and Management Science Volume 2


Book Description

Advances in Urban Engineering and Management Science contains the selected papers resulting from the 2022 3rd International Conference on Urban Engineering and Management Science (ICUEMS 2022). Covering a wide range of topics, the Proceedings of ICUEMS 2022 presents the latest developments in: (i) Architecture and Urban Planning (Architectural design and its theory, Urban planning and design, Building technology science, Urban protection and regeneration, Urban development strategy, Ecological construction and intelligent control, Sustainable infrastructure); (ii) Logistics and supply chain management (Warehousing and distribution, Logistics outsourcing, Logistics automation, Production and material flow, Supply chain management technology, Supply chain risk management, Global service supply chain management, Supply Chain Planning and Inventory Management, Coordination and collaboration of supply chain networks, Governance and regulatory aspects affecting supply chain management); (iii) Urban traffic management (Smart grid management, Belt and Road Development, Intelligent traffic analysis and planning management, Big data and transportation management). The Proceedings of ICUEMS 2022 will be useful to professionals, academics, and Ph.D. students interested in the above-mentioned fields. Emphasis was put on basic methodologies, scientific development and engineering applications. ICUEMS 2022 is to provide a platform for experts, scholars, engineers and technical researchers engaged in the related fields of urban engineering management to share scientific research achievements and cutting-edge technologies, understand academic development trends, broaden research ideas, strengthen academic research and discussion, and promote the industrialization cooperation of academic achievements. Experts, scholars, business people and other relevant personnel from universities and research institutions at home and abroad are cordially invited to attend and exchange.





Book Description




Discriminatory Pricing of Over-the-Counter Derivatives


Book Description

New regulatory data reveal extensive price discrimination against non-financial clients in the FX derivatives market. The client at the 90th percentile pays an effective spread of 0.5%, while the bottom quarter incur transaction costs of less than 0.02%. Consistent with models of search frictions in over-the-counter markets, dealers charge higher spreads to less sophisticated clients. However, price discrimination is eliminated when clients trade through multi-dealer request-for-quote platforms. We also document that dealers extract rents from captive clients and market opacity, but only for contracts negotiated bilaterally with unsophisticated clients.




Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Management Science and Engineering Management


Book Description

This book gathers the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Management Science and Engineering Management (ICMSEM 2019), which was held at Brock University, Ontario, Canada on August 5–8, 2019. Exploring the latest ideas and pioneering research achievements in management science and engineering management, the respective contributions highlight both theoretical and practical studies on management science and computing methodologies, and present advanced management concepts and computing technologies for decision-making problems involving large, uncertain and unstructured data. Accordingly, the proceedings offer researchers and practitioners in related fields an essential update, as well as a source of new research directions.




Advances in Service Science


Book Description

This volume offers the state-of-the-art research and developments in service science and related research, education and practice areas. It showcases emerging technology and applications in fields including healthcare, information technology, transportation, sports, logistics, and public services. Regardless of size and service, a service organization is a service system. Because of the socio-technical nature of a service system, a systems approach must be adopted to design, develop, and deliver services, aimed at meeting end users' both utilitarian and socio-psychological needs. Effective understanding of service and service systems often requires combining multiple methods to consider how interactions of people, technology, organizations, and information create value under various conditions. The papers in this volume highlight ways to approach such technical challenges in service science and are based on submissions from the 2018 INFORMS International Conference on Service Science.




Closing the Gap Between Practice and Research in Industrial Engineering


Book Description

This book presents the proceedings of the XXII International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management, International IIE Conference 2016, and International AIM Conference 2016. This joint conference is a result of an agreement between ADINGOR (Asociación para el Desarrollo de la Ingeniería de Organización), ABEPRO (Associação Brasileira de Engenharia de Produção), AIM (European Academy for Industrial Management) and the IIE (Institute of Industrial Engineers), and took place at TECNUN-School of Engineering (San Sebastián, Spain) from July 13th to 15th, 2016. The book includes the latest research advances and cutting-edge analyses of real case studies in Industrial Engineering and Operations Management from diverse international contexts, while also identifying concrete business applications for the latest findings and innovations in operations management and the decisions sciences.
