Nuclear Fusion: Some Linked Case Studies in Community Operational Research
研究了伦敦内城区为弱势群体提供住房和福利服务的志愿机构,通过计算机系统开发、工作调度和问题结构化三种方式提供帮助,比较了问题结构化方法与传统运筹学方法对社区组织的适用性。
Work is described with a group of voluntary agencies providing housing and other welfare services to disadvantaged clients in an inner London area. Three different types of assistance were provided—with development of a computer system, with work scheduling and with structuring a problematic situation which was a source of internal tensions. The appropriateness for community groups of problem structuring methods is compared with that of the more traditional operational research approach.
