Solutions : Business Problem Solving

Solutions is a practical guide that will help managers and professionals solve the most common organizational problems they face. It is the result of a major collaborative effort by members of the same business faculty, to identify and define solutions for the most frequently occurring issues and problems for small, medium and large businesses as well as for non-profit organizations. Readers will be able to quickly locate, understand and use a specific tool or technique to solve a problem, rather than having to uncover a decision making tool buried within a textbook.

There are some events in life that are inevitable, and the emergence of problems in the workplace is one. Solutions sets out to provide remedies that are accessible, practical, meaningful, and final. Well organized, and referenced to specific operations, this book provides troubleshooting and other assistance, and serves as an encyclopedic reference for answers to organizational problems for managers and practitioners. All the functional activities and operations of organizations are included, so that almost any problem or issue that may occur will be addressed in one or more chapters. Readers will be able to quickly locate, understand and use a specific tool or technique to solve a problem. The different tools available are described, or a single most useful tool indicated. The tool is then explained in depth with an example of how it can be used. The strengths and weaknesses of individual tools are identified and there are suggestions for further help. Solutions is essential for anyone wanting to learn the basics of business problem solving and those who might know the basics but want to expand their understanding.
