    Reliable Knowledge in Decision Making

    I have spent 35 years as founder and President of Edmund Scientific Co., Barrington, N.J., then 18 years as a full-time educational researcher specializing in the processes of the scientific method, problem solving, and decision making. You get the benefit of 35 years of practical experience and 18 years of academic-type research of the literature – free. The body of knowledge about a model for and the process of problem solving and decision making is huge and complex.

    However, I have tried hard to extract the basic principles of the foundation of these and present them in an easy to understand form suitable for an introductory course for an individual or student. I also claim that the SM-14 model for the stages and ingredients of problem solving and decision making presented here is the best ever offered.

    Good judgment depends on good decision making! – Good luck to you in your efforts to improve your decision making.
