This updated text provides a lively introduction to the essential skills of creative problem solving. Using extensive case-studies and examples from a wide range of business situations, it explores a wide range of problem-solving theories and techniques, illustrating how these can be used to solve a range of management problems.
Thoroughly revised and redesigned, this new edition retains the accessible and imaginative approach to problem solving skills of the first edition. Contents include:
- blocks to creativity and how to overcome them
- key techniques including lateral thinking, morphological analysis and synectics
- computer-assisted problem solving
- increased coverage of group problem solving techniques and paradigm shift.
As creativity is increasingly recognized as a key skill for successful managers, this book will be welcomed as a comprehensive introduction for students and practising managers alike.
