mgsci-workflow
Use when deciding which mgsci-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Management Science (INFORMS) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills, and helps pick the right Department lane (analytical vs empirical).

# Management Science Workflow (mgsci-workflow)
## Overview
This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which mgsci-* skill to use right now** for your Management Science manuscript.
Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as **Management Science** — the **INFORMS** flagship established in **1954** by the precursor Institute of Management Sciences (TIMS). It is deliberately **bimethodological**: it places rigorous **analytical/quantitative** work (operations research, optimization, stochastic processes, game and economic theory) **side by side** with **empirical** work (econometrics, lab/field experiments, behavioral studies, data science), across **every functional business area** — accounting, finance, marketing, operations, information systems, strategy, entrepreneurship, organizations, behavioral economics. There is **no single dominant method by design**; each **Department** sets its own field-appropriate rigor bar. The unifying test is rigor **plus** a decision-relevant management/business contribution that travels across departments.
> Editor-in-Chief Christoph H. Loch (term Jan 1, 2024 - Dec 31, 2026). Submissions are routed into a specific **Department** (e.g., Accounting; Behavioral Economics and Decision Analysis; Data Science; Entrepreneurship and Innovation; Finance; Healthcare Management; Information Systems; Market Design, Platform, and Demand Analytics; Marketing; Operations Management; Optimization and Decision Analytics; Organizations; Stochastic Models and Simulation; Strategy; Sustainability). Verify the current masthead and department set on INFORMS PubsOnline before submission.
## When to trigger
- "What should I do next?" with a half-built Management Science manuscript
- You are unsure which **Department** your paper belongs to, or whether it fits Management Science vs a sister INFORMS journal (Operations Research, M&SOM, Marketing Science)
