Opis

This volume presents a collection of 30 essays on the character, administration and management of research universities, with special emphasis on the perspective of statistics and operations research. It concentrates on issues of systematic planning, planning models, teaching approaches, and management associated with the aims and methods of operations research, although it also deals with more general concerns about the management of universities and university resources. A final section looks at some of the applications of operations-research and statistical tools that have moved outside university settings.
