Prescriptive Approach: Rational Problem-Solving Model
Problem Recognition, Definition, and Analysis
Often focus on symptoms, not cause
Depends on characteristics of: Problem
Severity, familiarity, complexity
Group Desire, ability
Environment Modern, relationship to outside environment

Prescriptive Approach: Rational Problem-Solving Model
Generating Alternatives and Selecting a SolutionAlternatives depend on:
Knowledge and skills of members Group climate and process
Good solution: Balances needs of various group members Uses efficient problem solving approach Process fosters group harmony

Application: Problem-Solving Techniques for Teams
Problem Analysis Problem recognition Separate symptoms from causes Symptom identification
Force field analysis Charting unknowns
Criteria Matrix Assists in selecting a solution by rating alternatives Decide criteria to rate alternatives:
Ease of implementation Effectiveness Expense Quality
