Abstract: Public sector and nonprofit organizations (NPO) have been growing substantially in number and size since the turn of the millennium. In light of the ongoing economic crises these sectors are expected to grow even more with expanded demands for services, increased need for funds to meet the demands and need for their services, and increased pressure to use available funds efficiently and effectively. The purpose of operations research (OR) techniques is to improve organizations’ operations and achievements. We are pleased to include in this volume a group of high quality research papers, innovative case studies with OR applications to the public sector and NPO, all focusing on the objective of improving operations and achievements.
