Abstract
The gap between brilliant management science solutions and the translation of these solutions into practical and profitable management action has, of course, long been recognized. Certainly TIMS has been concerned about this problem since the organization was founded. Despite the persistence of the problem and its increasing importance, there has been little hard-fact research on either causes or cures. For the most part, the discussions in the professional literature has been conceptual, and usually begin by complaining about how little research has been done on the problem of implementation.
