| Tiivistelmä: | "Crisis? What crisis?" could also have been an appropriate title for this paper. The OR/MS literature contains more than enough papers addressing the crisis in OR/MS to take the matter seriously, but it is not always clear exactly what is meant by crisis. The complaints usually concern the perceived gap between theory and practice, pointing out that there are too many theoretical and too few practice-oriented papers. This may well be true, but the authors suggest a slightly different view of the crisis, by hypothesizing that a "natural drift" has occurred, i.e., that ole-style OR has remained underdeveloped relative to its more purely theoretical and practical counterparts. |
