Abstract: The last two decades have witnessed an evolution in the field of management science as evidenced by the changing profile and habits of TIMS members. This paper reports the results of a survey administered to over 2,400 TIMS members in an attempt to assess the current status of the field and the organization. Specifically, it evaluates the changes in the characteristics of members, their professional roles, their evaluation of TIMS services, and their journal preferences. The results indicate that while TIMS has adapted quite well to the changing demographics of its membership, there are a number of specific concerns that need to be addressed.
