Abstract

The use of mathematical models for problem solving in business has led to the development of a new type of specialist---the operations researcher. Operationally defined, operations research (OR) consists of a class of mathematical/statistical research techniques which have come to be utilized for solving problems likely to arise within organizations. Included among OR techniques are linear, non-linear, dynamic and heuristic programming, stock queuing and game theories, simulation and network planning. Some large companies have their own operations research divisions; others call in OR consultants when they are needed. In either situation problems can arise. These may be organizational problems, or problems arising from decision makers' (users') lack of familiarity with OR methods for problem solving. The following investigation attempts to shed some light on these questions.
