The facets of the modeling and validation process in operations research

Article Abstract:

A technique for evaluating the process of modeling and validation in operations research is presented. A contextual classification of OR problems can be made through the use of the modeling-validation tetrahedron formed by the 'managerial situation,' 'conceptual model,' 'formal model' and 'decisions.' This also allows for the identification of required validation types and their relative importance.

Linking industrial competitiveness and productivity at the firm level

Article Abstract:

An industrial competitiveness model was developed. The proposed model reflects the overall productivity measure and position of an industrial firm as compared to its competitors in terms of production capabilities, distribution systems, marketing competence, purchasing skill, and financial superiority. In addition, it shows how industrial competitiveness and productivity of a firm is analytically related to one another.
