商品描述

This book presents an innovative framework for enhancing creativity in decision-making by applying systems thinking principles and tools. It is based on the premise that creativity is not a fixed trait that some people have and others don't, but a skill that can be learned and improved with practice and guidance. The book also argues that decision-making is not a linear or mechanical process that can be reduced to simple rules or formulas, but a dynamic and creative process that requires holistic and systemic thinking.

The work also shows that systems thinking is not a complicated or abstract theory that only experts can use, but a practical and powerful tool that anyone can apply to understand and improve complex situations. The framework consists of six steps: problem identification, idea generation, idea selection, idea development, idea implementation, and monitoring and evaluating results and feedback.

Readers will learn to use the framework to solve complex problems and generate innovative ideas in any context and domain. Through the systematic integration of existing models into a unified framework, the book contributes to ongoing dialogues regarding effective decision-making processes. It critically evaluates prominent models like the Creative Problem-Solving Model, the Rational Decision Making Model, and the Intuitive Decision Making Model. Researchers seeking insights into incorporating creativity into decision-making will find this book to be a valuable scholarly resource.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提出了一個創新的框架,旨在透過應用系統思考的原則和工具來增強決策中的創造力。其基礎假設是,創造力並不是某些人擁有而其他人沒有的固定特質,而是一種可以透過練習和指導來學習和提升的技能。本書還主張,決策並不是一個可以簡化為簡單規則或公式的線性或機械過程,而是一個需要整體和系統性思考的動態和創造性過程。

本書還顯示,系統思考並不是只有專家才能使用的複雜或抽象理論,而是一種任何人都可以應用來理解和改善複雜情況的實用且強大的工具。該框架由六個步驟組成:問題識別、創意產生、創意選擇、創意發展、創意實施,以及監測和評估結果與反饋。

讀者將學會使用這個框架來解決複雜問題並在任何情境和領域中產生創新想法。透過將現有模型系統性整合成一個統一的框架,本書對於有效的決策過程的持續對話做出了貢獻。它對於一些突出的模型,如創意問題解決模型、理性決策模型和直覺決策模型進行了批判性評估。尋求將創造力融入決策的研究者將會發現本書是一個有價值的學術資源。
