Aimed at all those who need to think systematically and creatively about 'messy' problems. The authors have pioneered research in this area for many years, based on direct consulting experience. They suggest ways of thinking about problems in an organizational context, and techniques to handle them which combine the explicitness of many quantitative techniques with the sensitivity and flexibility of some qualitative approaches. Each chapter is followed by a case study which is continued throughout the book.
Of interest to business students, managers, and consultants.
Introduction. Distinct perspectives and political concerns. Helping with problems. Helping clients talk about their problems. Interactive modelling. Problems in teams. Model building in teams. Coping with quantity. Closure. References. Appendix. Index.
