Does Operations Research Address Strategy?

Abstract

Several recent comments published by leading operations researchers leave the impression that OR does not address strategic business or government issues and, furthermore, that the field would have to develop new analysis methods to address these issues. In fact, however, many OR practitioners are addressing strategic issues these days, and the failure of OR commentators to recognize this explicitly carries dangers for the future development of the field.
