Abstract: Periodically the management science profession prognosticates about its importance to management and its future. Also periodically, critics become outspoken about management science's lack of relevance to management. Just as major innovation typically comes from outside an industry, so are the threats to the management science profession coming from outside the profession, from the related fields of strategic management, corporate planning, and production operations. Management science should listen to its critics.
