Continuing a proud legacy of thought leadership in management sciences at Fisher, Fisher’s Johnny Rungtusanatham was recently inducted as a Fellow by the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI).

The designation marked Rungtusanatham’s contributions to research and scholarship, teaching and administration and service to the DSI and continues his longstanding engagement with the organization.
