内容説明

The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to a range of methods for structuring decisions and problems, rather than solving them. Each of the six methodologies covered is presented in a linked pair of chapters. For each approach the first chapter lays out the justification for the method, develops the conceptual apparatus employed and describes the sequence of activities by which the method is applied. The second chapter of each pair illustrates the application of the method by means of a practical case study. This information has only previously been available scattered in technical journals or in books offering substantial presentations of a particular methodology - this volume allows easy access to these problem structuring methods.

目次

  • Old and new paradigms of analysis
  • using cognitive mapping for strategic options development and analysis
  • SODA and cognitive mapping in practice
  • soft systems methodology
  • an application of soft systems methodology
  • the strategic choice approach

  • robustness analysis - keeping your options open
  • robustness to the first degree
  • the manager as politician and general - the metagame approach to analyzing co-operation and conflict
  • the CONAN play - a case study illustrating the process of metagame analysis
  • modelling interactive decisions: the hypergame focus
  • using the hypergame perspective - a case study
  • diverse unity - the principles and prospects for problem structuring methods.

内容説明

The purpose of this text is to provide business students with an introduction to a range of methods for structuring decisions and problems, rather than solving them. All methods discussed are illustrated with case histories, which describe the sequence of events by which the method is applied. The format should make it possible for the reader to establish an informal view of what each methodology claims to be able to do.
