Abstract

We are currently educating in the business schools future managers, decision makers, and potential users of Operations Research. Many business schools have at least one required course in OR at the graduate and/or undergraduate level. How this course is taught can have an important impact on how these future managers view the usefulness and importance of OR as an aid in their decision-making processes. The required Operations Research course is therefore a topic worthy of serious consideration by professionals in the field.
