Abstract
The promises of OR/MS for the planning and management of development have been heralded by many. However, there are also many pitfalls and problems involved in the use of these techniques in less developed countries. This essay examines these dangers and suggests some avenues for research in order to make OR/MS more amenable to the needs of the underdeveloped countries.
