Chapter Chapter 1 in Wicked Problems – Social Messes, 2011, pp 1-6 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract General Morphological Analysis (GMA) was developed at the Swedish Defence Research Agency during the 1990s as a method for treating what have been termed wicked problems and social messes. This chapter gives a background to how and why GMA was developed and applied, first to post-Cold War defence planning and, subsequently, to social and organisation planning processes in general.
