Front Cover
Gower Publishing, Ltd., 1996 - Business & Economics - 183 pages
The Problem Buster's Guide is exactly what its title suggests. In non-technical language, and using examples from a wide range of businesses and from everyday life, it shows how problems can be not just solved but turned into opportunities for improvement. In showing how to tackle problems large and small, Mike Allison describes over 30 problem-solving techniques. He sums up his book as 'the "Swiss Army Knife" of problem solving books'. His refreshing approach will appeal to managers in all types of organization.
