Abstract

Operations Research is, in its elementary form, going to be as widespread as mathematics and physics nowadays. But only IF we meet the challenge and are willing to communicate to the surroundings not only the proper use of our own remedies, including management sciences, but also remedies, such as information processing and automatic control. Operations Research for laymen in the post industrial society will require deep and exciting research, and we are in the lucky situation that we, through the work heretofore carried out, are in possession of quite a number of results suitable for this type of communication with our surroundings.The Operations Research process is a combination of logic and creativity.With our youth behind us, we can hope that in the future our science as a melting-pot for new developments---for the benefit of mankind---is going to be even more valuable. We are going to take part in the choice of the futures of our industrial society.
