Summary
The forces behind the development of the so-called “new economy” are substantially changing the ways in which the economy in general and the business world in particular operate. A semi-structured internet-based survey was performed involving Brazilian senior POM researchers and professors aiming at identifying their perceptions with regard to which would be the POM sub-topics that would require further research vis-àvis the changes brought about by the new economy. What are the main changes brought about by the new economy to the corporate world in general and to production and operations management (POM) in particular?. Which sub-topics, within the general field of POM have been (and in the future are likely to be) most affected by the changes brought about by the new economy?.
