I am currently responsible for a postgraduate module on Managing Complexity, Uncertainty and Subjectivity (MANG6515), which covers the use of "soft" methods, often referred to as Problem Structuring Methods (PSMs), in Management Science. Featured methods include Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and Strategic Options Development & Analysis (SODA). The module is taught by a mix of lecture and workshop sessions.
Jonathan H. Klein holds a BSc in Physics with Mathematics and a Masters degree in the Physics of Ion Implantation & Radiation Effects in Materials. While completing his Masters degree he became intersted in the research friends were doing on decision-making behaviour, and this resulted in his undertaking a PhD on Decision-Making and Research Gaming.
During his academic career he has worked and published research in a number of areas including research gaming, risk management, multiple-criteria decision analysis, problem structuring, narrative methods, and healthcare delivery and management.
