Three Approaches to Big Technology: Operations Research, Systems Engineering, and Project Management

Abstract

If the physicists, the chemists, the mathematicians, and the engineers could combine to build an atomic bomb, why could not the same kinds of groups, working in concert, solve other problems, both military and civil? The concept of the multi-disciplinary approach was utilized in World War II, and it was only natural that the techniques thus devised should carry over. [P. Stewart Macaulay, “The Market Place and the Ivory Tower”]1
