Mr. Chomlee’s engineering division of an auto-making plant is having difficulty coming up with new ideas on how to improve fuel efficiency in the cars they are designing. What are some techniques to enhance their problem solving ability?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?Mr. Chomlee could encourage his people to look at their challenges as ill-structured problems which require a considerable degree of divergent thinking and creativity. Because we often get stuck in solving problems in the same way, he can also suggest periodically setting things aside and letting his section incubate their problem solving. This incubation period may allow fresh approaches to the problems they face and suggest new, more productive solutions.
