The Fishman-Davidson Center for Service and Operations Management seeks to provide a solid research and teaching foundation that addresses the operations issues of firms in both the service and manufacturing sectors. We are particularly interested in facilitating interactions between industry and academics that can lead to identification of interesting research questions.

We accomplish this goal through a portfolio of activities including direct grants to faculty, industry partnerships that bring together a group of companies around a particular issue, impact conferences that enable an exchange of information between faculty and practicing managers, and funded research projects with individual companies.
