The impact of contingency factors on validation of problem structuring methods
journal contribution
posted on 2015-09-03, 15:18 authored by Donna Champion, John WilsonAlthough much has been written about validating Decision support systems and other ‘hard’ OR models,
less has been written about validating ‘soft’ OR models. This article seeks to determine which contingency
factors known to influence DSS validation are also important factors influencing problem structuring methods
(PSM) validation. In addition, after consultation with PSM experts other contingency factors influencing PSM
validation are proposed. Evidence from these PSM experts concerning the levels of influence of these factors
is used to support proposals for a contingency approach to PSM validation.
