Abstract:
The UK OR/systems community has been actively promoting the development and
the use of management science methodologies (MSM) over the last decades. A
number of systems thinkers have been influential in promoting them. To
understand this development, this paper proposes a general framework in
which four paradigms/stages are identified. To assess the influence of
individuals in this development a model that attempts to 'measure' the
effects of cited work is advanced.
Using the ISI database citation index for the period 1981-2000 a survey on
articles citing the work of two authors representative of two stages of MSM
development is conducted. The paper reports on the number of articles citing
Checkland's and Jackson's most cited papers. The journals surveyed were a
sample-of OR, systems and IT refereed journals. The results suggest that,
judging from the number of citations to their work, the-two mentioned
authors have been influential at different points of the UK OR/systems
movement.
