On 11th July at the Triennial IFORS Conference in Hawaii the President of IFORS, Thomas L. Magnanti, Institute Professor, Sloan School of Management, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Dean, MIT School of Engineering, presented Dr. Brugha with a scroll to mark the occasion and paid tribute to his “enthusiasm, dedication and expertise in bringing the journal to a new level”.
Dr. Brugha is currently writing a book, “Understanding Methodologies and Systems in Management” (Springer) that interprets the 100 or so best-known management methodologies in the light of meta-models. It brings the rigour of management science to the issue of the formation of systems used in management.
