This paper examines the development of developing or developed countries with the use of operation research’s tools and tactics. The educational and institutional aspects of Operation research are also examined and a discussion has been done of the methodological aspects of Operation research that work in under developed or developing countries Not only this but also the relation of operation research and Information Technology has been proved to be complementary to each other in this paper. Operations research is an advisory function and a structured approach to problem solving. Operations research use computers as tools to develop, modify, or update models. Operations research analysts use higher mathematics and computer programs to solve problems. They may develop and modify computer programs to use as tools in analyses. Analysts identify changes in real-world systems, decide how to mathematically represent them in simulations, and change computer programs accordingly the management. The primary knowledge applied is of modeling techniques and the subject matter of the simulation. Computer knowledge is secondary. This paper sketches the evolution of operation research as a scientific discipline in the international context i.e. the transformation of society to a developed society, since operation research techniques facilitate the planning and implementation of several projects/activities/policies with the help of information technology. Operations research analysts study financial and resource problems using the scientific approach and a variety of mathematical and statistical techniques.

Keywords: Operation Research, Management, Information Technology.
