BALTIMORE, MD, January 16, 2025 – Intensive care units (ICUs) face mounting pressure to effectively manage resources while delivering optimal patient care.

INFORMS members Scott Nestler, CAP, and David Hunt were named by the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business to its annual list of Office of the Dean Mission Awards, which honor faculty members for a specific research study that contributes to the common good. Nestler and Hunts “Using INFORMS Ethics Guidelines in the Classroom” describes how the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) and its ethics guidelines can be used in the classroom. Their work stems from their involvement with the creation of the INFORMS Ethics in O.R. & Analytics Group, which is meant to bring awareness to issues of ethics in operations research and analytics.
Critics say capitalism erodes institutions and relationships. Turns out, working in sales might, according to a new study in the INFORMS journal Organization Science. A survey of people from different countries revealed that working in a sales-related job was associated with being less trusting, even controlling for other factors. To confirm this experimentally, participants here and abroad were randomly assigned to generate a positive review of a low-quality product. Compared to generating an honest review, generating an artificially positive review caused participants to see people as less honest.
