This book focuses on one of the most illusive and difficult areas of management practice – the process of ‘organizational problem-solving’. It provides a much-needed discourse in management, which links theory and practice together. Its goal is to present an holistic set of unpinning principles which integrates inquiry as a integral component of management action in practice. As such, it is a discourse which is deeply intellectual, and yet entirely pragmatic. These principles are applicable and usable in any context. As such, it provides a radically new way of seeing the discipline of management, because it provides the intellectual basis for bringing together theory and practice in a way that has never been considered before.

"... this is a book about use of method, and not a book of methods; the author leads readers through a series of 'typical' stages in method usage, encouraging the reader to reflect upon both the what and why of their own practice. It is in this area that the book may add the most value..." - Dr. Keith Horton, Napier University"
