Abstract: The personal characteristics of Japanese OR/MS leaders which are considered to affect the successful survival and promotion of OR/MS activities in the organization through their evolutionary phases were empirically examined.It was found, among other things, that OR/MS leaders should change as an OR/MS group progresses through its organizational evolution in such a way that the characteristics of technical orientation become less important while characteristics of organizational orientation become highly important as the group advances to the maturity phase.
