<p>Behavioral operations management (often called behavioral operations) examines and takes into consideration human behaviours and emotions when facing complex decision problems. It relates to the behavioral aspects of the use of <a href="/facts/Operations_research/H5yJkV5n">operations research</a> and <a href="/facts/Operations_management/jTNFINl1">operations management</a>. In particular, it focuses on understanding behavior in, with and beyond models. The general purpose is to make better use and improve the use of operations theories and practice, so that the benefits received from the potential improvements to operations approaches in practice, that arise from recent findings in behavioral sciences, are realized.
