Abstract :
Reports a research study that attempted to determine whether top management positions within a specific organization are compatible with management science techniques. A questionnaire was employed to test the feasibility of introducing specific management science concepts. The results and recommendations of the study are included. It is hoped that the methodology reported, especially the questionnaire design, will be of use in future related research.
