Education CREATIVE THINKING AND INNOVATIVE EDUCATION IN THE DECISION SCIENCES
回顾了关于创造力的当前思考及其教育重要性，重点介绍了Parnes等人开发的创造性问题解决过程，并将其整合到一门运筹学/管理科学问题解决课程中，讨论了决策科学教育与实践的启示。
ABSTRACT Creative problem solving is seldom addressed directly in the decision sciences literature. The first half of this paper reviews current thinking about creativity and its educational importance. The remainder addresses creative problem‐solving processes and, in particular, the process developed by Parnes, Noller and Biondi [24] and Osborn [23]. This process has been integrated into an OR/MS problem‐solving course which is described. Conclusions and implications for decision sciences education and practice in general are discussed.
