Abstract

A creed of The Institute of Management Sciences is that managing can be made more teachable and learnable through theoretical and empirical research and building a body of communicable knowledge of the emerging science of managing. An objective of the Institute is this body of knowledge. The establishment of various TIMS colleges is a strategy for obtaining this objective. A tactic of the Planning College is the establishment of study teams to review common beliefs of assigned aspects of the subject matter of planning and report the results of these studies to the College. A goal of the present study team is to initiate a fruitful discussion of two specific elements of the planning process so a common and communicable understanding and formal documentation of them will result. "Management Technology", ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.
