NEW BOOK: Wicked Problems/Social Messes

Description

This is the first dedicated book to be published on computer-aided General Morphological Analysis (GMA). It presents the history and theory of GMA and describes how it is used to develop interactive, non-quantified inference models. Ten case studies are presented — out of more than 100 projects carried out since 1995 — illustrating how GMA has been employed for structuring complex policy and planning issues, developing scenario and strategy laboratories, and analysing organisational and stakeholder structures.
