Research, teaching, and practice of OR/MS are becoming increasingly disengaged from one another in the OR/MS ecosystem. This ecosystem comprises researchers, educators, and practitioners in its core along with end users, universities, and funding agencies. To understand the reasons for this disengagement better and to engender discussion among academics and practitioners on how to counter it, we present the ecosystem’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Indeed, some of the strengths are captured by taking a long view of the past, as in the first half of the present compilation of chapters and the opportunities by taking a long view of the future, as in the second half of the present compilation.
