Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Model Relativism: A Situational Approach to Model Building
Much has been written about modelling and model - building. Urban [6] cites much of the related literature; the reference list of that paper is useful for those studying the modelling process. My favorite treatment of this theme is included in the chapters of Ackoff and Sasieni [1] which treat problem recognition, modelling, testing, implementation and control. The reader can keep his own most helpful model - writer in mind; they all suffer from the same pedagogic weakness they help good modellers be better modellers and don't do nearly as much for the have - hots.
