The Fourteenth International Conference of the Chinese Scholars Association for Management Science and Engineering (CSAMSE) will be held on July 21- July 22, 2022 in Harbin and organized by School of Management Harbin of Technology, China.

CSAMSE is a highly recognized and rapidly growing community of scholars, from both overseas and China, in the field of Management Science and Engineering (MSE), who are united by a common interest to promote the communication between academia and industry and to improve management theory and practice in China. Over the past 14 years, our annual conference has developed into a great meeting place to understand the latest business developments in China and to keep abreast of the cutting-edge research ideas in Management Science and Engineering.

The theme of CSAMSE 2022 conference is high-quality development in the digital economy, which is aimed to boost China’s economic development. The digital economy is characterized by its the rapid development and the unprecedentedly deep influence, making it a key force for the reorganization of global factor resources. It also reshapes the global economic structure, and changes the global competitive landscape. We cordially invite scholars in MSE and relative fields around the world to present their research at CSAMSE 2022. Papers that are in line with the conference theme are particularly welcome.

The CSAMSE Young Scholars Colloquium will take place again at the 2022 CSAMSE conference. We cordially invite young scholars (assistant/associate professors and advanced doctoral students) to the colloquium that will feature panel discussions with leading academics who have extensive research and senior editorial experiences. The purpose of this colloquium is to bring together young scholars in the field of Management Science and Engineering to discuss the challenges they face in research and in the process of publishing in top-tier journals. To ensure the quality and the effectiveness of the colloquium, attendees are limited to 60 in total. 

The CSAMSE Female Scholars Luncheon provides a great networking opportunity to discuss challenges in career development and to share experiences that are unique for female scholars in operations research, operations management, information systems and industrial engineering. The Luncheon welcomes female scholars at various stages of their career (assistant/associate/full professors, as well as doctoral students) to join the event. As usual, we will have several guests to join us and share their thoughts and experiences.

Apart from the long-standing CSAMSE Best Paper Award (referring to the conference website for details), the newly established CSAMSE Management Science Practice Award will also be bestowed again this year. It is a prestigious award to recognize an outstanding piece of work that is rooted in the principles of Management Science and Engineering and has a significant impact on practice. The Award is for an individual or a group of people. An eligible application must provide evidence of practical impact, which is broadly defined to be any contribution to a business or an organization in terms of performance improvements or changes in how practitioners approach a real-world problem.
