Abstract

There's a gap between decision scientists and decision makers. The decision scientists don't understand decision making; and the decision makers don't understand decision scientists. It's our responsibility as decision scientists to close this gap. I've been applying Management Science methods to the solution of business problems for about 25 years now. In my observation, the gap is growing wider rather than narrower. It's time we built some bridges!
