Abstract: | Creative problem-solving is an important dimension to managerial activity. Rapidly changing business environments produce problems which managers have not previously encountered. Tried and trusted methods of approaching new problems can meet with failure. The need for creative problem-solving methods which overcome such difficulties is of paramount importance. There are a number of established creative problem-solving aids, such as brainstorming, lateral thinking, etc. and a new set of aids which are computer-assisted. This paper outlines newer developments. |
