Edited by Saul I. Gass and Carl M. Harris The Encyclopedia provides decision makers and problem solvers in business, government and academia with a comprehensive overview of the concepts and methodologies that combine to form the fields of operations research and management science (OR/MS). More than 228 separate entries show how OR/MS applies scientific principles to decision-making, and illustrate the relationship of OR/MS to computer science, information processing, and mathematics. Each entry provides a history of the topic, describes relevant applications, surveys contemporary and future trends, and lists important references.The major expository articles are complemented with numerous secondary entries: descriptions, discussions, definitions, and abbreviations.

This article chooses to deal exclusively with one perspective of strategy - corporate strategic tasks. There are three different imperatives here -leadership, economic and managerial, that are useful to characterize these tasks. Again, a focus is made on the second and third of these imperatives. Arnoldo Hax and Nicolas Majluf identify eight corporate tasks associated with the economic imperative of corporate strategy, and two further ones with the managerial imperative. They illustrate the corporate strategic tasks in a strategic planning framework by reference to the case of Procter and Gamble using publicly-available information. The authors are confident that the disciplined-process they describe, leading towards the ten corporate strategic tasks, will improve managers' understanding of corporate strategy.

Linking technology and business strategies is a demanding task that has central importance in strategy formation. Now that technology is a critical source to achieve and sustain competitive advantage, the ability to incorporate technology into a business strategy can make the difference between a winning or a losing strategic alternative. This paper discusses a methodology that can be used to explore systematically the way to link business and technology strategies. The authors illustrate the application of the suggested methodology in a real life setting.

We have revealed new insights by reviewing and integrating the definitions of strategy offered by leading scholars in the field. Part of the confusion surrounding the issue of strategy can be alleviated by separating the concept of strategy from the process of strategy formation. The concept of strategy is presented as a normative model that has validity for all firms. The process of strategy formation, however, is contingent on the firm's particular situation and can be described in terms of the wide variety of forms it takes in different organizations, depending on the firm's strategic objectives, its management style, its organizational culture, and its administrative structure.

Manufacturing strategy is a critical part of the firm's corporate and business strategies, comprising a set of well-coordinated objectives and action programs aimed at securing a long-term, sustainable advantage over competitors. It should be consistent with the firm's overall strategies, as well as with other functional strategies. A methodology for designing such manufacturing strategies has been successfully tested in actual manufacturing environments, including the Packard Electric Division of General Motors.

... Organizational archetypes that are placed on the rather autonomous end of the continuum are characterized by independent units, such as is the case in divisional structure. In contrast, functional structures can be found at the other end of the continuum (Hax and Majluf 1981). ...

... The breakdown of the planning data on a different axis (i.e. temporal, geographical, or physical axis) whether by disaggregation or aggregation operations respects a certain set of rules (Hax and May, 1973;Özdamar et al., 1998). In general, when going upstream the upper level parameters serve as constraints for the lower-level data. ...

... Second, there is the hierarchical approach, which decomposes a problem into subproblems which can be managed separately. In the literature, this hierarchical approach is preferred more and more to the classical approach of total optimization (Bitran and Hax, 1977; Hax and Bitran, 1979; Hax and Meal, 1975; Wester, Wijngaard and Zijm, 1989). In the beginning, we applied the classical approach, which resulted in a large model with some serious drawbacks (e.g. ...

... where b P is the production width that is multiplied with v P as the production speed in [mmin −1 ]. Hax and Majluf (1982) note that economies of scale also result in a lower price per product, meaning that the price per product is an indicator of how effectively that company can manage its resources. The sinking price per unit with increasing total produced product volume is called the Experience Curve (See figure 5 on the right, Hax and Majluf (1982)). ...

... First, this study argues that having only a single vertical axis or factor means the IBA structure is an error because it does not provide a sufficient degree of comparability and understandability. The logical construction of this structure should combine at least two elements formed in two dimensions (Bhatia, 1997;Hax & Majluf, 1983;Higham, 2008). Admittedly, three axes would make for an even more comprehensive system. ...
