Management and Optimization Techniques Management Theory and Practice Complex Systems and Decision Making

Abstract

The development (rather than the history) of operations research as a science consists of the development of its methods, concepts, and techniques. Operations research is neither a method nor a technique, it is or is becoming a science and as such is defined by a combination of the phenomena it studies, its methods, and its techniques. Invited paper given at the Eighth National Meeting of the Society in Ottawa, Canada, on January 9, 1956.
