Define different perspectives and concepts of problem solving in diverse contexts and business situations. (C.L.O :1.2)
Demonstrate decision tools and employ appropriate analytical business models to break down complex issues. (C.L.O :2.2)
Explain and apply critical thinking and cognitive psychology as it pertains to analyze and synthesize information for problem solving and decision making. (C.L.O :2.1)

Case Study:

Talal, CEO and the president of a pharmaceutical company based in Riyadh. Talal is going to retire after three months and has been asked to select his successor. He wanted to decide one candidate from the following three best possible candidates he feels would best take over his position.

Badar the VP – Marketing, Working with company from 20 years and under Talal for 7 years.
Rayyan the VP-Operations, been with company 23 years has most experience.
Sayeed VP-HR, been with company for 15years but has worked his way up the ladder impressively.

Outside the workplace Badar, Rayyan, Sayeed are close friends and after receiving word that they are the finalists for the job promotion. Tension rises both within and outside the workplace. They also find out that the decision will not be announced until few weeks, which causes that tension to raise that much more. Outside the work the three close friends have not talked nearly as much since the promotion announcements and is causing negative effects in their home lives. With the three of them failing to communicate, they won’t know how they each perceive the situation, thus building on the already present stress and anxiety.

Talal ultimately chooses Badar due to his experience under him as VP. This puts even more responsibility in Badar’s hands. The decision surely sends shockwaves throughout the company, starting with Rayyan and Sayeed. Rayyan is extremely upset with the decision, and with him being a very verbally aggressive person, he starts to cause some conflict with his work behaviour. Sayeed, who is also highly upset, decides he cannot work under Badar, quits the job, and cuts off the friendship they had.

To resolve this conflict, Badar calls multiple meetings hoping to improve the communication within the business, however, this backfires tremendously. Rayyan’s work behaviour continues to spiral out of control and is constantly verbally aggressive in meetings, targeting Badar in certain comments, which only makes things worse by making the rest of the group uncomfortable, this leaves Badar clueless as what to do simply because he has not done anything wrong. He was awarded a job promotion and has not done anything to provoke Rayyan or Sayeed to act the way they have.

Q1: What is the main problem in the above case? [Marks 3]

Q2: Discuss the problem with 5-Why analysis. Draw a cause-and-effect diagram based on the problem of the case?[Marks 4]

someone else, that person is the
problem owner
• Stakeholders are people who are also
affected or whose involvement you
need to resolve the matter

‫ فهذا الشخص هو‬، ‫عندما تحل مشكلة لشخص آخر‬

Developing Effective Problem Statements
‫تطوير بيانات المشاكل الفعالة‬
• A problem statement is a clear, concise
description of the problem and the effect
you expect from the solution
• The purpose of the problem statement is to
describe a single problem objectively
• Include the problem statement in your
proposals, progress reports, and
discussions with stakeholders

‫بيان المشكلة هو وصف واضح وموجز للمشكلة واألثر الذي‬
‫تتوقعه من الحل الغرض من بيان المشكلة هو وصف مشكلة‬
‫واحدة بموضوعية قم بتضمين بيان المشكلة في المقترحات‬
‫والتقارير المرحلية والمناقشات مع أصحاب المصلحة‬
Developing Effective Problem Statements
‫تطوير بيانات المشاكل الفعالة‬
• Guidelines for developing problem
statements:






Describe the ideal situation
Briefly summarize the problem
Identify symptoms of the problem
Describe the size and scope of the problem
Identify the consequences
Explain any other research or investigation that
you may pursue
:‫إرشادات لتطوير عبارات المشكلة‬
‫وصف الوضع المثالي تلخيص المشكلة باختصار التعرف على‬
‫أعراض المشكلة صف حجم ونطاق المشكلة تحديد العواقب اشرح أي‬
‫بحث أو تحقيق آخر يمكنك متابعته‬
Determining Causes
‫تحديد األسباب‬
• It is common to overlook the root cause of
problems and focus only on symptoms
• Complex situations usually involve
interrelated problems, each with a different
cause
• To link a problem to its cause, you must
perform a root-cause analysis, a study that
determines the real basis for the problem
‫من الشائع التغاضي عن األسباب الجذرية للمشاكل والتركيز‬
‫فقط على األعراض عادة ما تتضمن الحاالت المعقدة مشكالت‬
، ‫ لكل منها أسباب مختلفة لربط مشكلة بقضيتها‬، ‫مترابطة‬

‫للسبب والتأثير‬
Determining Causes‫تحديد األسباب‬
Cause-and-effect diagram
‫السبب والنتيجة رسم بياني‬
Simplifying Complex Problems
‫تبسيط المشاكل المعقدة‬
• Complex problems have no clear boundaries,
are unique, and have no single optimal
solution
• Complex problems frequently involve multiple
stakeholders with competing agendas
• Most complex problems consist of smaller sub
problems that affect each other in ways that
complicate the larger problems
• ‫ وليس لها حل مثالي واحد‬، ‫ وهي فريدة‬، ‫المشاكل المعقدة ليس لها حدود واضحة‬

‫المشاكل المعقدة في كثير من األحيان تنطوي على العديد من أصحاب المصلحة مع‬
‫جداول األعمال المتنافسة‬

‫تتكون معظم المشاكل المعقدة من مشكالت فرعية أصغر تؤثر على بعضها البعض‬
‫بطرق تعقيد المشكالت األكبر‬
Simplifying Complex Problems
‫تبسيط المشاكل المعقدة‬
• To simplify complex problems:





Identify the major symptoms
Consider each problem individually
Rank the sub problems
Look for interdependencies
Delegate sub problems
:‫لتبسيط المشاكل المعقدة‬
‫التعرف على األعراض الرئيسية‬
‫النظر في كل مشكلة على حدة‬
‫رتب المشاكل الفرعية‬
‫ابحث عن االعتمادات المتبادلة‬
‫مندوب المشاكل الفرعية‬
Identifying and Managing Risks
‫تحديد وإدارة المخاطر‬
• Any decision you make or solution you
implement involves some risk, which is an
exposure to a chance of loss or damage
• Risk is an inevitable part of business,
especially when you are introducing
creative changes
• With careful planning, you can often avoid
many of these risks or reduce their
drawbacks
‫ وهو التعرض لفرصة‬، ‫ينطوي أي قرار تقوم به أو حل تقوم بتطبيقه على بعض المخاطر‬
‫الضياع أو التلف‬
‫ خاصة عندما تقوم بتقديم تغييرات إبداعية‬، ‫الخطر هو جزء ال مفر منه في العمل‬
‫ يمكنك في كثير من األحيان تجنب العديد من هذه المخاطر أو الحد‬، ‫مع التخطيط الدقيق‬
‫من عيوبها‬
Identifying and Managing Risks
‫تحديد وإدارة المخاطر‬
• Guidelines for identifying and managing
risks:





Be aware of potential risks
Assess your risk/reward ratio
Reduce your risk by testing
Develop a fallback position or a backup plan
Keep everyone informed
:‫إرشادات لتحديد وإدارة المخاطر‬
‫كن على بينة من المخاطر المحتملة‬
‫ المكافآت الخاصة بك‬/ ‫تقييم نسبة المخاطر‬
‫تقليل المخاطر عن طريق االختبار‬
‫تطوير موقف احتياطي أو خطة احتياطية‬
‫ابق الجميع على اطالع‬
Avoiding Problem-Solving Traps
‫تجنب مصاعب حل المشكالت‬
• Solving problems demands the following:




Logical thinking
Creative thinking
Willingness to redefine goals
Acceptance of solutions that manage rather
than eliminate problems
• Habits and unacknowledged biases impair
problem solvers’ ability to solve problems
:‫حل المشكالت يتطلب ما يلي‬
‫التفكير المنطقي‬
‫تفكير إبداعي‬
‫الرغبة في إعادة تعريف األهداف‬
‫قبول الحلول التي تدير المشاكل بدالً من القضاء عليها‬
‫تضعف العادات والتحيزات غير المعترف بها من قدرة أصحاب المشكالت على حل المشكالت‬
Avoiding Problem-Solving Traps
‫تجنب مصاعب حل المشكالت‬
• To avoid problem-solving traps:
• Avoid the positive outcome bias
• Avoid “not invented here”
• Avoid the need for quick closure
• Avoid the bandwagon effect
• Avoid self-serving bias
:‫لتجنب الفخاخ حل المشكالت‬
‫تجنب انحياز النتيجة اإليجابية‬
“‫تجنب “لم يخترع هنا‬
‫تجنب الحاجة إلى إغالق سريع‬

Technology @ Work: Crowdsourcing
‫ التعهيد الجماعي‬:‫تكنولوجيا @ العمل‬
• Crowdsourcing characterizes a way of using
groups to solve problems
• The groups are usually online communities
• An organization broadcasts a problem to the
crowd as an open call for solutions
• The crowd submits solutions, then sorts through
them, finding the best ones
• ‫يميز التعهيد الجماعي طريقة الستخدام المجموعات لحل المشكالت‬
• ‫عادةً ما تكون المجموعات عبارة عن منتديات عبر اإلنترنت‬
• ‫تبث منظمة مشكلة للحشد كمكالمة مفتوحة للحلول‬
• ‫ للعثور على‬، ‫ ثم يتم فرزها من خاللهم‬، ‫يقوم الحشد بتقديم الحلول‬
‫أفضلها‬
Technology @ Work:
Crowdsourcing
• Advantages of crowdsourcing to a
company are that it can investigate
problems at low cost and produce
innovative solutions from a wider range of
amateurs and experts than it employs
• Risks to the company are that it might
waste time looking for a solution from the
crowd, who is not committed to helping the
company
‫مزايا التعهيد الجماعي لشركة ما هي أنها تستطيع التحقيق في‬
‫المشاكل بتكلفة منخفضة وإنتاج حلول مبتكرة من مجموعة‬
‫أوسع من الهواة والخبراء مما توظفه المخاطر على الشركة‬
‫ الذي‬، ‫هي أنها قد تضيع الوقت في البحث عن حل من الحشد‬
‫ال يلتزم بمساعدة الشركة‬

Using Adaptive Techniques
Adaptive techniques involve a combination
of intuition, logic, and common sense
Adaptive techniques are less precise than
traditional problem-solving methods, but
are appropriate in many cases

Developing Ethical Solutions
Ethics are standards of behavior that direct how people
should act
Ethics involves making moral decisions and choosing
between right and wrong
When applied to problem solving, ethical behavior leads to
appropriate decisions, not necessarily the optimal ones
Consider situations from an ethical, as well as a practical,
perspective

Facts and opinions
Identifying Arguments
To organize your ideas when
thinking critically, you identify,
construct, and evaluate arguments,
which are statements or
explanations that support your ideas
Your premise is what you claim or
content
The other element of an argument is
the conclusion
