Abstract
Operations researchers and management scientists develop many techniques which could improve management practice. Few of these promising innovations are implemented. In this paper, a model is developed to explain this implementation gap based on 1 attitudinal differences a motivation gap between change agents operations researchers and management scientists and managers, and 2 the differences between desired and available resources for implementation a feasibility gap. Strategies for closing this gap are also discussed.
