| Jul 11, 2019 at 15:45 | comment | added | PSLP | I am sure, that you could formulate a number of hypotheses on these questions and then test if they hold up by looking at a large number of OR projects. I would consider that to be science. I don't know if anyone has done it before, and if so, where they put their results - hence the question. | |
| Jul 11, 2019 at 15:33 | comment | added | EhsanK♦ | True but the answer to many of your questions (at least as far as I know) are more or less used-case specific. e.g. "how do ppl interact with optimization software? or what factors contribute to its acceptance?" just depend on where the software is used, organization culture, the quality of the software created, who are the stakeholders and their support. None of these factors are scientific (they are not quantitavely tested on lots of instances to see if they are in fact significant!) but they are real reasons among many others! | |

a few grammar fixes (also changed modelling since I saw "optimization" as opposed to "optimisation"!
