Operations Research is one of three disciplines of study offered in the field of Information Technology. Applying mathematical models to the solution of problems encountered by individuals, groups and organisations became a science during World War II and is now known as Operations Research or Management Science. The techniques developed were, after the war, modified and extended to be applicable in the civilian world, in areas such as banking, mining, the oil industry, transportation and many others. Today, the study of Operations Research and Management Science provides insight into decision making.
