Management science (MS) is the broad interdisciplinary study of problem solving and decision making in human organizations, with strong links to management, economics, business, engineering, management consulting, and other fields. It uses various scientific research-based principles, strategies, and analytical methods including mathematical modeling, statistics and numerical algorithms to improve an organization's ability to enact rational and accurate management decisions by arriving at optimal or near optimal solutions to complex decision problems. Management science helps businesses to achieve goals using various scientific methods.

Operations research (OR) is a discipline that deals with the application of advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions. Further, the term operational analysis is used in the British military as an intrinsic part of capability development, management and assurance. In particular, operational analysis forms part of the Combined Operational Effectiveness and Investment Appraisals, which support British defense capability acquisition decision-making.

A mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical models are used in the natural sciences and engineering disciplines, as well as in the social sciences.

Green graduated from the City College of New York in 1970, earned a master's degree in 1973 from New York University, and completed her Ph.D. in 1978 at Yale University. [2] Her dissertation, Queues Which Allow A Random Number of Servers Per Customer, concerned queueing theory, and was jointly supervised by Daniel P. Heyman and Ward Whitt. [3] She joined the Columbia Business School faculty in 1978. [2]

Green was elected to the 2004 class of Fellows of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS). In 2019 she was chosen as a Distinguished Fellow of the INFORMS Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Society. [4]

A fellow is a member of an academy, learned society or group of learned subjects which works together in pursuing mutual knowledge or practice. There are many different kinds of fellowships which are awarded for different reasons in academia and industry. These often indicate a different level of scholarship.

The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) is an international society for practitioners in the fields of operations research (O.R.), management science, and analytics. It was established in 1995 with the merger of the Operations Research Society of America (ORSA) and The Institute of Management Sciences (TIMS). The 2019 president of the institute is Dean Ramayya Krishnan of Carnegie Mellon University.
