| Abstract: | Augmented Reality (AR) has advanced rapidly, and a breadth of applications can be found in industry. While research suggests that these tools are effective in improving operational or worker performance, applications related to engineering and operations management functions, such as monitoring work practices and process control, are less common and reportedly experience additional challenges due to the nature of these tasks. This article reviews research focused on AR applications for management-related tasks exploring progress in this area, identifying key challenges, and defining opportunities for future research. Augmented Reality technology has the potential to support engineering and operations management by creating Immersive Performance Environments; however, there are many challenges to the successful adoption of this technology that must be overcome to bring the potentially powerful benefits of this technology to practice.
