Abstract
This paper identifies the Operations Research (O.R.) problems from a systems view of information, knowledge and understanding. This systems view is examined as a basis for a developmental approach to problem solving and decision making processes. O.R. wisdom lies in achieving a balance between short-and long-term goals through a process of participation and learning.
