This edited volume is an introduction to diverse methods and
applications in operations research focused on local populations
and community-based organizations that have the potential to
improve the lives of individuals and communities in tangible ways.
The book's themes include: space, place and community;
disadvantaged, underrepresented or underserved populations;
international and transnational applications; multimethod,
cross-disciplinary and comparative approaches and appropriate
technology; and analytics. The book is comprised of eleven original
submissions, a re-print of a 2007 article by Johnson and Smilowitz
that introduces CBOR, and an introductory chapter that provides
policy motivation, antecedents to CBOR in OR/MS, a theory of CBOR
and a comprehensive review of the chapters. It is hoped that this
book will provide a resource to academics and practitioners who
seek to develop methods and applications that bridge the divide
between traditional OR/MS rooted in mathematical models and newer
streams in 'soft OR' that emphasize problem structuring methods,
critical approaches to OR/MS and community engagement and
capacity-building.
