Inquiry and Decision (Routledge Revivals)

By John O'Shaughnessy

Book Overview

First published in 1972, this book details the processes of inquiry - namely description, explanation, evaluation and prediction - and shows the role they play in prescriptive decision-making. It is argued that an understanding of these processes lies behind successful inquiry and is an aid to effective decision-making. Broad in scope, the reissue will appeal to all those engaged in inquiry in the fields of sociology, psychology, political science, and business and management studies, as well as the manager in both the public and private sector.
