What the Editors say<br />

about IJIDS<br />

I view <strong>Information</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Decision</strong> Science as one of the<br />

most important topics in the global world where huge<br />

amounts of information needs to be filtered <strong>and</strong><br />

juxtaposed for any person or organisation to make the<br />

best decisions<br />

Hans-Henrik Hvolby, Professor in Supply Chain<br />

Integration, Aalborg University, Denmark<br />

Technology to collect <strong>and</strong> process information is<br />

following Moore’s Law. This needs to be coupled with<br />

sound tools <strong>and</strong> techniques for making decisions <strong>and</strong><br />

provide good “return on information”. IJIDS would<br />

serve as a leading forum across multiple disciplines<br />

around the world.<br />

Dr. Vittal Prabhu, Marcus Department of Industrial<br />

<strong>and</strong> Manufacturing Engineering, Penn State<br />

University, USA<br />

With the globalization of economic activities, the<br />

decisions of firms become more <strong>and</strong> more complex.<br />

A good decision means that a firm makes a fast <strong>and</strong><br />

accurate reaction to the changes of the environment,<br />

especially the changes of the competitors’ strategies.<br />

The development of the information technology<br />

provides an effective tool for the decision-making of<br />

firms. I believe that IJIDS can provide a good platform<br />

for exchanging the ideas on information <strong>and</strong><br />

decisions <strong>and</strong> will become a leading journal.<br />

Tiaojun Xiao, School of Management Science <strong>and</strong><br />

Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing China<br />

I am pleased <strong>and</strong> excited to be involved in the<br />

launching of the IJIDS. It is great to be part of a<br />

journal with such a wide, multidisciplinary <strong>and</strong> open<br />

perspective on how to best use <strong>and</strong> present<br />

knowledge from the masses of data we swim in<br />

nowadays.<br />

Professor Clive Morley, Academic Director,<br />

Graduate School of Business, RMIT University,<br />

Australia<br />

The availability of massive data is changing the way<br />

decisions are made in today's businesses. IJIDS<br />

covers both emerging <strong>and</strong> classical subjects in the<br />

area of information <strong>and</strong> decision sciences <strong>and</strong> it will<br />

be a forum that makes innovation in how decisions<br />

are made in today's <strong>and</strong> future business environment.<br />
