Northeast Decision Sciences Institute

For those of you who are reading about us for the first time, let us explain a little about our group. We are one of several regions that comprise our professional society, the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI). Our region encompasses the Northeastern United States.

Northeast Decision Sciences Institute (NEDSI) holds an annual regional meeting each spring that features presentations of original research papers; Ph.D. and new faculty development seminars; a placement service; case writing; and other interesting innovations in the fields of Accounting; Business Education; Finance; HRM; Management; Marketing; MIS/DSS/Expert Systems and IT; Organizational Behavior; Operations Management; Strategic Management; and Supply Chain Management, among others. Awards for "Best Paper" in several different categories are given each year.

The Decision Sciences Institute holds an annual meeting in November and publishes the Decision Sciences Journal, the Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education and the newsletter Decision Line. Most members of DSI are academics who teach in colleges and universities, although practitioners are always welcome and encouraged to join.

I would like to take this opportunity and invite you to participate in the Northeast Decision Sciences Institute Conference to be held in New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge, April 5-7, 2013. There are twenty tracks stated in the program including some new ones, such as Social Media and Crisis Management. In addition, there are outstanding paper awards designated for the best application of theory, best contribution to the theory, and best paper in innovative education. Dr. John Affisco, the Program Chair, has planned a fantastic conference in New York City with all its attractions. Hope to see you all in New York.
