Beschreibung
The HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCE will provide—for the first time—a historical context for the entire field of Operations Research/Management Science. This enables each researcher, student, and practitioner to put their own work (which is only part of the broader OR/MS domain in the Applied Sciences) into a historical perspective.
OPERATIONS RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCE: A History of the New Approach to Problems (Volume 1) provides a broad understanding including the OR/MS approach to problems, the scope of problem-solving methodologies across the specific methodologies in the field and the modeling advances with the appropriate mathematical tools illustrated. The dynamic, continually developing nature of OR/MS is stressed throughout the volumes.
QUALITATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF OR/MS (Volume 2) outlines the development of the qualitative (non-mathematical) approach to OR/MS. The writings of the founding and leading thinkers and scholars in the qualitative stream are excerpted with Müller-Merbach’s editorial commentary linking these facets of the OR/MS into sequential stages of its historical development. The volume outlines the qualitative aspect of OR/MS in the historical context of the field.
QUANTITATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF OR/MS (Volume 3) charts the development of the quantitative advances (progress) in OR/MS. The contributions of the pioneers and leading research scholars in the quantitative school will be excerpted with Müller-Merbach’s editorial commentary linking these facets of OR/MS into sequential stages of its historical development. The volume uses the classical work of the pioneers to better understand the current state-of-the-art in the quantitative school.
The author is making special efforts to ensure that all the books are well-written, well-motivated, accessible, and readable. The books will be of interest to academics to industry practitioners to students. OR/MS is a field with compartmental specializations and these volumes will be one of the very few resources that will provide those who work with OR/MS tools and those who are in interested in exploring the area, with the historical development of the entire field in context of the problems it addresses and the tools it uses
Stressed throughout all three volumes is the dynamic, expanding and continually developing nature of OR/MS. The field brings a "special synergy" to problem-solving methodologies that expands the capabilities of the methods while developing solutions to even larger and more complex problems
Heiner Müller-Merbach is a distinguished professor of OR/MS who has been an active researcher over a good portion of the historical development in the field. He is recognized as a scholarly statesman in the field and he has devoted much of this time to understanding and relating the historical developments and influences in the field
