Part 2: Editor Panel and Q&A
Come and participate in a discussion with four experienced academics about their experiences with the peer review process and how their views and approaches have evolved throughout their careers. All four speakers are Editors-in-Chief of one of the seven Operational Research Society journals.
Kathy Kotiadis is a Professor of Management Science/Operational Research at the University of Kent, and is an expert in developing quantitative and qualitative modelling approaches to support stakeholder engagement, primarily in Health Care. Kathy’s research interests include the development of the simulation methodology, the application of discrete-event and hybrid simulation; conceptual modelling; health care modelling; systems thinking; problem structuring methods; soft systems methodology; facilitation; multiparadigm multimethodology. Kathy is co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal, Health Systems.
Martin Kunc is Professor Business Analytics and Head of the Centre for Healthcare Analytics at the University of Southampton. Martin’s research is focussed on the intersection between management science and behavioural science with emphasis on the use of analytics to support strategic decision making. Martin is co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Operational Research Society.
Antti Lönnqvist is Dean of the Faculty of Management and Business at Tampere University. His scholarly interests focus on the interplay between knowledge and management: how are knowledge-based assets managed and turned into value and, on the other hand, how are information and knowledge used in managerial and leadership work? He is known for pragmatic, action-oriented research work in which new academic insights are created through hands-on development work of organisational management practices and tools. Antti is co-Editor-in-Chief of Knowledge Management Research & Practice.
Nav Mustafee is Professor of Analytics and Operations Management at the University of Exeter Business School. Nav's research focuses on modelling & simulation (M&S) methodologies and their application in areas such as healthcare, supply chain management, climate resilience and the circular economy. A particular area of interest is hybrid M&S. The objective is to develop the best possible representation of the system under scrutiny by leveraging not only the strengths of individual M&S techniques but also methods and techniques from wider disciplines such as Operational Research (OR), Applied Computing and Data Science. Nav is co-Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Simulation.
