science du jour



Science du jour...

NYT has this article on the "science of services", whatever that

means.

An ex-colleague of mine wonders: why is this article in the Business

section of NYT?

I won't whine (in this post, anyway) about why this is not a science,

but will merely lament NYT's lack of critical reporting: there's no

discussion of operations research, industrial engineering, "management

science", and other mathematical/engineering/business school

disciplines (sciences and non-sciences) that subsume this field of

deep scientific inquiry many times over.
