Book Review
“In this brilliant book, the authors have systematically developed a framework of diverse theoretical and research advances in problem-solving processes. This, however, does not only integrate state-of-the-art research but develops implications for the future of problem-solving as open and innovative.  It offers insightful and practical implications that address most of the challenging topics that our ‘problem-solvers’ in different agencies encounter in day-to-day life.  in four Parts, six well-organized chapters illuminate the intersectionality of issues and aspects that are crucial for scientific explorations and progress.” – Brij Mohan, Dean Emeritus, School of Social Work, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge LA , USA

Description
The authors have done a brilliant job of highlighting how the definition and theorizing of problem-solving is changing and how this seems to inspire the development of research in resolving problems in current and upcoming years. By balancing our theoretical and research assumptions about problem-solving with a better awareness of the significance of plenty of other factors contributing to successfully resolving problems, individuals, teams, and communities of practice might possibly use more refined ways through which they can endorse influential transformations during problem-solving conditions and eventually generate greater shared value.

In this excellent new cross-cultural Nova edition that grapples with the challenge of writing about the problem-solving paradigm, the authors have worked hard to blend diverse theoretical and research advances of problem-solving approaches in a balanced and visible way. It does not only integrate inspiring theory and research, but also develops avenues for the future of problem-solving as open science and an open innovation field. It gives insightful and practical associations addressing many of the most challenging topics that our agency and capacity as problem-solvers might entail, now and in the time ahead.
