Abstract

This paper presents the first rankings of nonacademic organizations according to their contributions to the INFORMS practice literature. Two rankings are given, each based on a different metric: visibility is the number of authors who list an organization as their primary affiliation; yield is the equivalent number of INFORMS practice papers attributable to each organization based on author primary affiliation. For the visibility rankings, IBM comes in first place, followed by Hewlett-Packard in second, the US Government in third, and General Electric in fourth place. These are followed by Sasol, Procter & Gamble, and Merrill Lynch. For the yield rankings, the US Government comes in first place, followed by General Electric and IBM tied for second, and Hewlett-Packard in fourth place. They are followed by Intel in fifth, Procter & Gamble in sixth, and Merrill Lynch in seventh place.
