promises to be a very interesting one. It will be both informative and educative to its readers but,
unfortunately, it is not within the scope of AMS or within any of the areas that AMS is interested in.
The journal considers articles in which the existing operations research/management science
techniques are innovatively applied or in which new mathematical/quantitative models/methods are
developed to solve decision and/or industry or some other problems. Some subject areas of business,
industrial engineering, and engineering management are covered by the journal. In each of these
areas, we are interested in articles that develop and/or apply the aforementioned models or
techniques/methods.
Please, it would be appreciated if you could send me a copy of the article after it is published.
It is going to be an interesting and informative article.

Subject: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Notice of the Publication of a New Issue of Annals of Management Science
Abstract
Purpose: This study is an exploratory and retrospective investigation of the origins and evolution of six professional disciplines—accountancy, architecture, engineering, land surveying, law, and library science—imported into Nigeria. Three uniform questions we seek to answer with respect to each occupational field are: when did the profession make its entrance into the country? at what point did it become established as a profession? and at what period did it receive a legislative imprimatur from the Nigerian central government to establish a regulatory board.
Procedures: Data collection for this study comprises information related to the twelve professions gathered from their organizational websites, as well as from published materials, including books and journal articles, on the history of each occupational field.
Results: Application of the three standard questions on each of the twelve professions revealed answers as disparate as the occupational fields themselves. The applications also uncovered a huge entrance gap, running into several centuries, between the first profession, law, introduced into the country in 1862, and accountancy, whose date of entrance, 1950, occurred just ten years shy of the country's independence in 1960. Similar gap, though nothing resembling the depth of the gap in entrance between law and accountancy, is also observable regarding legislative mandate to establish a regulatory board. For example, it took law and architecture 76 and only 9 years, respectively, to achieve recognition from the national government.
