It’s jarring and galling to see management and science put together in a way that’s suggestive of management being a science. It reeks of stolen valor.

- cschmidt 1y agoI think in this context Management Science is an older term that was synonymous with operations research. The flagship journal of Informs (the institute for operations research and management science) has the same name. Studying how to optimize thing, lots of statistics and math. Stanford was at the forefront of the field from George Danzig onwards. So not trying to make management a “science” in this case.
