Abstract

In teaching operations research in a university, in advising students as to career opportunities, and in recommending to industrial and commercial firms the consideration of recent management science techniques, one inevitably faces the following questions. Who is adopting operations-research methods? What are the areas of current application? Has the approach been successful? What educational training is recommended towards a profession in this area?
