Auflage! Komplexe mathematische Methoden zur Problemanalyse sind heute nicht mehr gefragt. An ihre Stelle tritt ein kohärentes alternatives Paradigma, eine breite Palette formaler Methodologien, die nicht darauf abzielen, 'optimale' Lösungen zu produzieren, sondern darauf, einen bereicherten Entscheidungsfindungsprozeß zu ermöglichen. 'Low-Tech' - so heißt das neue Zauberwort und meint Transparenz und Mitbestimmung. Diese 'Low-Tech'-Methoden helfen bei der Formulierung und Neuformulierung der Problemlösung in einer ungewissen Welt. Mit Beiträgen der einflußreichsten Denker, darunter auch Checkland und Eden. Eine Kombination aus Theorie, Praxis und aktualisierten Methoden - eine zeitgemäße Lektüre.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 A New Paradigm of Analysis 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJonathan Rosenhead and John Mingers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 SODA – The Principles 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eColin Eden and Fran Ackermann\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 SODA – Journey Making and Mapping in Practice 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFran Ackermann and Colin Eden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Soft Systems Methodology 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeter Checkland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Soft Systems Methodology in Action: Participative Creation of an Information Strategy for an Acute Hospital 91\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeter Checkland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 The Strategic Choice Approach 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Friend\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Gambling with Frozen Fire? 151\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAllen Hickling\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Robustness Analysis: Keeping Your Options Open 181\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJonathan Rosenhead\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Robustness to the First Degree 209\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJonathan Rosenhead\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Drama Theory and Confrontation Analysis 225\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeter Bennett, Jim Bryant and Nigel Howard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 The M\u0026amp;A Play: Using Drama Theory for Mergers and Acquisitions 249\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNigel Howard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 An Overview of Related Methods: VSM, System Dynamics, and Decision Analysis 267\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Mingers and Jonathan Rosenhead\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Multimethodology – Mixing and Matching Methods 289\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Mingers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Mixing Methods in Practice 311\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRichard Ormerod\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Diverse Unity: Looking Inward and Outward 337\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Mingers and Jonathan Rosenhead\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 357\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52470055076120,"sku":"9780471495239","price":51.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471495239.jpg?v=1785630525","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/rational-analysis-for-a-problematic-world-revisited-problem-structuring-methods-for-complexity-uncertainty-and-conflict-paperback-softback-9780471495239","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
