In this paper, I provide some observations on how the academic field of operations management has changed over the past 40 years. For this purpose, I have identified and classified the operations management (OM) papers published in Management Science in 1976 and in 2016. From this review, I comment on what’s changed, what’s new, and what we might see in the future. In reflecting on these changes, I also document and discuss how the OM editorial structure and mission have evolved at Management Science over this time. This paper was accepted by David Simchi-Levi, Special Section of Management Science: 65th Anniversary.

This paper uses the 65th anniversary of Management Science as an opportunity to examine how well the journal has performed against its primary goal to promote development and encourage application of a science of management. We also highlight recent trends that are impacting this mission and discuss how recent initiatives address these issues.
