This presentation will provide information about JOM, discuss recent developments and directions, and answer audience questions. Tyson will reflect on his recent six years as co-EIC of JOM, providing insights into the strategies and opportunities for publishing therein.  He will address the Journal’s surprising topical and methodological breadth and scope, areas and methods where more submissions are especially sought, etc.  Also as a former Department Editor of IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, Tyson will discuss some of the contrasting approaches of each journal.
