Twenty five years ago, in 1964, The Operational Research Society's
first International Conference (held at Gonville and Caius College,
Cambridge) took as its theme "Operational Research and the Social
Sciences." The Conference sessions were organised around topics
such as: Organisations and Control; Social Effects of Policies;
Conflict Resolution; The Systems Concept; Models, Decisions and
Operational Research. An examination of the published proceedings
(J.R.Lawrence ed., 1966, Operational Research and the Social
Sciences, Tavistock, London) reveals a distinct contrast between
the types of contribution made by the representatives of the two
academic communities involved. Nevertheless, the Conference served
to break down some barriers, largely of ignorance about the
objects, methods and findings of each concern. In the ensuing
twenty five years, although debate has continued about the
relationship between OR and the social sciences, mutual
understanding has proved more difficult to achieve than many must
have hoped for in 1964.
