Problem Structuring Methods for Complexity, Uncertainty and Conflict

Planning and management is increasingly problematic in the
real-world environment of spiralling change and uncertainty.
Knowledge is incomplete, values are in dispute and the decisions of
others are often unpredictable.

Problem structuring methods (PSMs) are now widely accepted
within Operational Research and the systems movement, and have
generated an impressive record of high-profile applications. This
new edition provides easier access to PSMs. Each of five methods is
presented from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. The
justification for each approach is explained, and an illustration
of applying each method is given in a practical case study. New
topics in line with the many advances in the field of problem
structuring methods are explored and multimethodology is introduced
for the first time.


This book does not peddle methods for optimum solutions, but
instead shows you how to facilitate an enriched and fluid
decision-making process. Participatory methods are explained to
assist the formulation and re-formulation of problem solving in an
uncertain world.


Offering contributions from leading thinkers in the field and
building on the success of the first edition, this theoretical
guide and practical source will prove invaluable to students of
management, systems and OR and to practitioners negotiating
real-life problems in today's complex, conflicting and uncertain
business climate.
