Experiential Learning and the Scientific Approach: An Application to Managerial Problem Solving.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Charalambides, Leonidas C. – Simulation and Games, 1984
Describes an experiential learning method designed to improve management students' understanding of the scientific approach. A model of the consulting/intervention process, the Managerial Problem Solving Cycle is based on the premise that formulation of problem diagnosis facilitates communication, which in turn, contributes to increased…
