A modified Delphi method of solving business problems

A class of managerial problems which involves forecasting, developing new solutions, and maintaining harmony among individuals or groups affected by the solution is discussed. This type of problem is thought to occur frequently in organizations. A structure for solving such problems is proposed which is based upon combining the Delphi method of forecasting and the morphological method of inventing. The case history of the development of a college curriculum is cited as an example of successful use of the new method.
