John von Neumann Theory Prize
The John von Neumann Theory Prize of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) is awarded annually for special achievements in operations research and theoretical business administration (management science). It has been awarded since 1975, is named after John von Neumann and endowed with 5000 dollars.
