Presidents MessageDear researcher,

GANOM was established due a desire to share knowledge and experiences with friends from around the world in the area of operations management at the 2005 EIASM doctoral seminar in research methodology for OM. As you well know a PhD is a very demanding time, by finding researchers in your area and friends we can support one another to achieve. In the future, we hope to meet at conferences, arrange seminars and possibly provide opportunities to work together on publications globally.

This presentation sets out to discover and establish a network for researchers by providing web forums, discussion groups, personal webpage's and networking events to support one another's research. Within, this world there are possibly a number of people who actually could understand your research!, but how do we find these people? We hope GANOM will achieve this, and grow in size to encourage all researchers in our field to come together and contact one another and share experiences.

On behalf of GANOM’s establishing team we hope you will want to be a part, contribute and tell your fellow researchers. We hope to see you at the first GANOM forums and networking events. Together we can achieve greatly, we have an opportunity to build a network that will be there to help future researchers. And provide the opportunity to maintain professional friendships when we have achieved our doctorates.

If you have any queries you wish to raise or want to know how you can contribute, then please contact me.
