9781783473410: How Concepts Solve Management Problems

Synopsis

This book offers a process for conceiving solutions to complex, wicked, messy, swampy or socio-technical problems. When charged with complex problem solving, a useful set of concepts needs to emerge, be agreed, and acted upon. Using relevant examples and solution mapping, Mike Metcalfe explains how pragmatic philosophy can be used as a process for solving such issues.

To explain why and how to formulate reflective, pragmatic, or concept driven problem-solving, this book uses the concepts of:

  • Pragmatic inquiry
  • Stakeholders' concerns
  • Idea networking
  • Solution concepts
  • Paradoxical outcomes, and
  • Intent (with related actions).

This innovative book will be of interest to academics, postgraduate students and managers charged with solving complex social or managerial problems.
