I am looking for (introductory) references on the empirical studies on the practice of OR.
I mean literature that looks at questions like:
- Which methods are used in practice?
- How do people interact with the optimization software?
- What factors contribute to the acceptance of optimization software among employees?
- What is the gap between theory and practice in the algorithms used?
- How long is the same model used/useful?
- What is the gap between the solutions output by OR-methods and the solutions implemented?
Maybe one could say all the OR-questions that don't revolve around the OR-methodology (i.e. modeling and solving the models). Or maybe one could say, literature on the things that happen before the modeling or after the development of the algorithm. If there is a book or a review paper, that would be ideal.
Does such literature exist?

True but the answer to many of your questions (at least as far as I know) are more or less used-case specific. e.g. "how do ppl interact with optimization software? or what factors contribute to its acceptance?" just depend on where the software is used, organization culture, the quality of the software created, who are the stakeholders and their support. None of these factors are scientific (they are not quantitavely tested on lots of instances to see if they are in fact significant!) but they are real reasons among many others!

I am sure, that you could formulate a number of hypotheses on these questions and then test if they hold up by looking at a large number of OR projects. I would consider that to be science. I don't know if anyone has done it before, and if so, where they put their results - hence the question.

Just about every article in Interfaces—now called INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics—answers at least some of the questions you laid out. I have found these articles to be very valuable as a way to study how OR gets implemented in practice.
If you're asking for a sort of meta-study that looks at those questions in the aggregate, rather than for specific projects, I'm not sure if such a study exists, but maybe others can point you to one.

True but the answer to many of your questions (at least as far as I know) are more or less used-case specific. e.g. "how do ppl interact with optimization software? or what factors contribute to its acceptance?" just depend on where the software is used, organization culture, the quality of the software created, who are the stakeholders and their support. None of these factors are scientific (they are not quantitavely tested on lots of instances to see if they are in fact significant!) but they are real reasons among many others!

I am sure, that you could formulate a number of hypotheses on these questions and then test if they hold up by looking at a large number of OR projects. I would consider that to be science. I don't know if anyone has done it before, and if so, where they put their results - hence the question.
