Framing vs. Analysis in Problem-Solving

This chapter explores the critical distinction between problem framing and analysis, illustrating how the way a problem is presented can significantly sway the solutions considered. It draws on historical research and a 1960s study involving art students to highlight the importance of reframing problems for enhanced creativity and effective decision-making. The chapter also critiques the educational system's bias towards analysis, advocating for a broader approach to problem identification and negotiation skills.
