Abstract

The unstoppable rise of computer power and technological innovation in all aspects of everyday life is changing the way organizations function and make decisions. Artificial intelligence, big data analytics and blockchain are some of the emergent technologies that are impacting every industry, raising new challenges and enabling important opportunities in the development and application of operations research (OR). Many innovation paths arise from the hybridization between OR and these emergent technology domains: (i) using new technologies to apply OR, (ii) adopting new approaches to enrich OR methods and (iii) applying OR methods to enhance emergent technologies. Based on the scientific literature, this chapter explores the synergies between OR and emergent technologies, and highlights noteworthy application horizons and areas of research arising from their hybridization.
