摘要
Over 500 job advertisements in the Newsletter of the Operational Research Society are analysed to explore the skills that employers want from students and the tasks that such students are expected to perform in their jobs. There are consequences for the content of Operational Research and Management Science degrees. © 2007 Operational Research Society Ltd. All rights reserved.
