The Reflective Practitioner

This innovative approach to mediating intractable policy controversies shows how reframing the issues can succeed where simply appealing to the facts often fails. The authors, two organization theorists, show how disputes that in abstract debate or negotiation seem insoluble can sometimes be resolved pragmatically by those who actually have to design and implement the specific programs.
