Abstract

Management science techniques have only lately come to be applied to university planning. This paper describes the use of models to assist in long-range planning at Stanford University. The three areas of application discussed are: (1) faculty tenure analysis; (2) long-range financial planning; and (3) trade-off analysis involving important budget variables. The factors that seem to have contributed to successful implementation also are noted.
