Goal programming and constrained regression—A comment

Goal programming was originated to obtain "constrained regression" estimates for an executive compensation formula which would conform to an organization hierarchy and other company policies prescribed by management. A subsequent history in that context is traced through other uses in personnel planning and in organization designs. Applications to planning advertising strategies are also examined which extend to uses of goal programming that involve fitting frequency functions under a variety of constraints. Finally this is all related to the initial and continuing research on the statistical properties of these estimates.
