Abstract: | A descriptive theoretical model is presented that explains how individuals recognize problems in organizational situations. The model synthesizes literature available on organizational problem formulation and cognitive information processing. The model suggests that individuals move among three stages of gestation,categorization and diagnosis,and deal with choice and value situations as the process unfolds. Propositions for empirical testing are also presented. |
