Introduction to Probem Solving is a course on bachelor-level.
Day-to-day work in management comprises dealing with problems in a goal-oriented manner and designing decision-making processes. As a rule important decisions are being increasingly made by groups that are also responsible for these decisions. Managers are therefore required to be able to employ the cycle of solving problems to achieve goal-oriented decisions (in groups).

The course Solving Problems is also available as a complement to this course.
