Abstract

Allen Y. Davis 295 work together, and have developed further than anyone else the knowledge of how to bring changes about when changes are called for. It is this final skill which takes an operations-research conclusion into the area of application and action, and tests the validity of the solution to the problem at hand. Finally, 1 am certain that each field has much to offer the other. Contacts and exchanges of information between the two can be encouraged without any necessary loss of identity by either field. However, I predict that as the two fields develop in the future, there will be an increasing tendency to combine them into the single field of general systems analysis and engineering.
