May 19, 2020 at 23:15 comment added Mark L. Stone In academia, to get Ph.D., tenure, promotions, funding, prestige, etc. In real industry, usually to solve problems (but publications impress people). Some of the research published in top journals is immensely useful in practice, most of it is not .I try to optimize (optimally balance) end to end rigor (usefulness, correctness), all the way through to implementation and real-world complexities and unknowns.. Most of academia goes for absolute rigor for some portion of a problem, but often (implicit) huge hand-waving or non-rigor at the beginning or ending step connection to real world.
May 19, 2020 at 23:08 comment added Amin For sure, that is true. But this means there is a huge gap between industry and top journals. So, what is the purpose of research in the field?
May 19, 2020 at 23:05 comment added Mark L. Stone Real world O.R. work doesn't follow lockstep with journals. Many real-world O.R. people aren't fixated on convergence proofs, and care whether the son of a bitch actually works well in practice, proof or no proof.
