Research Notes. Production Management Is Alive and Well

Abstract

The article appraises the observations and trends that have led to the conclusion that production management education is dying, as of 1974. Several observations are used as basis for the predicting the coming death of production management education, including the decline in the number of course offerings in the area of production management, decline in student interest as evidenced by decreasing enrollments in the production which still remain and the lack of management faculty interest in the field as evidenced by the death of production oriented publications in eminent management journals.
