Delphi research method: An experimental trial in Indonesia

Colin H.C. Bacon

European Management Journal, 1982, vol. 1, issue 1, 84-92

Abstract: The introduction of any new- and frequently sophisticated--technique of management or economics in a developing country requires a cautious approach, not least because the educational and cultural divide between the developed and the developing world sometimes renders such innovation inappropriate or conflictual with established practice. At Airlangga University in East Java, the trial use of the Delphi Research Method in several faculties was surprisingly successful. The author describes how the trial succeeded and attempts to explain why it did from the cultural and philosophical points of view, concluding favourably on the future of this technique in Indonesia.
