Why Is Myron Tribus Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Myron T. Tribus was an American organizational theorist, who was the director of the Center for Advanced Engineering Study at MIT from 1974 to 1986. He was known as leading supporter and interpreter of W. Edwards Deming, for popularizing the Bayesian methods, and for coining the term "thermoeconomics".
