The International Journal of Engineering and Management (IJEM) is a refereed research journal which aims to promote the links between engineering and management. The journal focuses on issues related to the development and implementation of new methodologies and technologies, which improve the operational objectives of an organization. These include, among others, product development, human resources management, project management, logistics, production management, e-commerce, quality management, financial planning, risk management, and decision support systems. Thus, the journal provides a forum for researchers and practitioners for the publication of innovative scholarly research, which contributes to the adoption of a new holistic managerial approach that ensures a technologically, economically, socially and ecologically acceptable deployment of new technologies in business practice.

2. Initial submissions should be sent electronically (PDF format) to the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Constantin Zopounidis (ijem@dpem.tuc.gr). Upon acceptance the author(s) should send the final paper both electronically and in hardcopy form.

4. Authors should provide full mailing address(es), including e-mail. The corresponding author should be clearly indicated, in a footnote appearing on the first page of the article.
5. An abstract of not more than 150 words should appear in the first page of the manuscript. It should be self-contained and understandable by the general reader outside the context of the article. It should be free from formulae, acronyms and references. The abstract should be followed by a list of up to 5 keywords.
6. All sections and subsections should be numbered in Arabic numerals.
