By surveying a sample of the top MS/OR and systems journals, we assese the extent to which systemic management science methodologies developed recently have been used in tackling EM/S problems. Titles and abstracts EM/S applications published in MS/OR and systems journals between 1989 and 2009 were queried for the occurence of typical keywords associated with a set of SMs (eg, complexity theory, systems dynamics, soft systems, critical systems, viable systems model). The survey identifies a set of articles representing the practice of either a particular methodology or of a mixture of various SMs in EM/S setting. By assembling and critically reviewing a sample of applications in EM/S the paper hopes to raise awarness among environmentalists, oparational researchers and management scientists of the benefits of using systemic approches developed in MS/OR and, in this way, to encourage further exchange and conversation between these fields of management DEWEY : 001.424 ISSN : 0160-5682 [article] Management science methodologies in environmental management and sustainability : discourses and applications [texte imprimé] / Paucar-Caceres, A., Auteur ; Espinosa, A., Auteur . - 2011 . - pp. 1601-1620.

A system dynamics sustainable business model for Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) / J. A. Duran-Encalada in Journal of the operational research society (JORS), Vol. 63 N° 8 (Août 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of the operational research society (JORS) > Vol. 63 N° 8 (Août 2012) . - pp. 1065–1078 Titre : A system dynamics sustainable business model for Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) : case based on the Global Reporting Initiative Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : J. A. Duran-Encalada, Auteur ; Paucar-Caceres, A., Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 1065–1078 Note générale : Operational research Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Business  sustainability  System  dynamics  modeling  Sustainability  reporting  practices  Corporate  social  responsibility  Environmental  management Index. décimale : 001.424 Résumé : We propose a System Dynamics model to explain the implementation and development of business sustainable policies at Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex). The model is built using information reported by this company on the Global Reporting Initiative website. The simulation model incorporates the participation and expectations of internal and external stakeholders in defining sustainability (as perceived by the organization) and implementing its initiatives. Three variables (leadership, stakeholder motivation and external factors), identified as leverage points in the model, are used as means to improve the organization's journey towards achieving sustainability. The results of the simulation model seem to indicate that by increasing leadership activity and levels of stakeholder motivation, the journey towards sustainability can be greatly improved, and that external economic factors do not have a significant impact on sustainability achievement. These findings are pertinent for organizations currently in the process of implementing sustainable policies and strategies.

The development of management sciences/operational research discourses: surveying the trends in the US and the UK / Paucar-Caceres, A. in Journal of the operational research society (JORS), Vol. 62 N° 8 (Août 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of the operational research society (JORS) > Vol. 62 N° 8 (Août 2011) . - pp. 1452–1470 Titre : The development of management sciences/operational research discourses: surveying the trends in the US and the UK Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paucar-Caceres, A., Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 1452–1470 Note générale : Recherche opérationnelle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Systems  thinking  Soft  OR  Problem  structuring  methods  History  of  OR  Management  sciences  methodologies  Philosophy  of  OR Index. décimale : 001.424 Résumé : This paper explores the trends in American and British management science/operational research (MS/OR) during the last 25 years. We argue that British MS/OR has developed a soft and systemic approach to MS/OR practice, which has resulted in the emergence of a number of interpretive and critical-oriented methodologies. American MS/OR practice has remained closed to the positivistic discourse. Using a set of keywords and authors’ names associated with the main features of the interpretive and critical MS discourses, we surveyed articles published in three major US MS/OR journals. We compare these results with trends in the UK MS/OR scene. Findings appear to confirm the different directions taken by the MS/OR practice across the Atlantic. The paper posits possible reasons underpinning these differences: firstly, the particular methodological path followed by the British MS/OR, from early ‘soft systems’ applications in the early 1970s to the now well-established ‘Problem Structuring Methods’; and secondly, continuous engagement between the systems and MS/OR British communities (a dialogue that seems not to have occurred in the US). The paper contributes to a reflection on the MS/OR historical developments and contrasts these developments in both countries, two areas of OR significantly under-researched.
