2. Problem Solving Process Class experience: Required courses, such as MISand SAD!! May be in PM as well !? What about MMIR? Research papers: Bendy et al. (2008) – Introduction on p.2. Mulet and Vidal (2008) – Introduction on p.102. Tao et al. (2006) - Literature Review on p. 416 & Problem Definition on p. 418

3. MIS Course Understanding Information Systems: A Business Problem-Solving Approach Problem Solving Is a Continuous Four-Step Process Figure 1-4 During implementation and thereafter, the outcome must be continually measured and the information about how well the solution is working is fed back to the problem solvers. In this way, the identification of the problem can change over time, solutions can be changed, and new choices made, all based on experience.

Z.,  Karwowski, W. and Sengupta, T., Application of Systemic-Structural Theory of Activity in the Development of Predictive Models of User Performance, International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction 24(3), 239 – 274, 2008 “Design includes the following basic steps (Suh, 1990): problem definition that formulates the problem, a creative process that includes development of the conceptual models in the mind of the designer, an analytical process that involves symbolic description of the design object and analysis of these models, and the creation of physical models for final evaluation of the design process”

Heuristic guidelines to support conceptual design, Research Engineering Design 19, 101–112, 2008 “One of the most significant characteristics of conceptual design is that the problem definition is not static; instead, it evolves during the course of the design process, in which continuous interactions take place between the solution and the definition of the problem. They are said to co-evolve because they exert a mutual influence on each other (Maher and Poon 1996).”

The design and the formative evaluation of a Web-based course for simulation experiences Computers & Education, 47(4), 414-432, 2006 p. 416: “Newman and Lamming (1995) pointed out that supporting activity, form of solution, user, and level of support are important elements of problem definition, where level of support specifies the usability goal. The targeted user’s involvement is essential for setting the proper usability goal.”
