Abstract: Throughout the development of management science, there have been complaints that staff people in this field have been insensitive to the overall goals of the organization. The focus of management science people has been largely that of model development and construction. In short, this has led to the conclusion that management science teams are composed of “model perverts.”If this is true, then there are some important motivational considerations that must be kept in mind. An understanding of these considerations is crucial to assuring that management science will be both effectively utilized and well integrated with the goals of the organization.
