Notes

  1. These include stakeholders from science, politics, industry, the media and the public.

  2. In psychological problem–solution research, "complex problems" are characterized by complexity, interdependence, their own dynamics, intransparency, and polytely. Cf. Dörner (1976), Funke (2003).

  3. The term “wicked problems” originates in Rittel and Webber (1973) and was originally intended to explain the failure of rational planning in the solution of social-policy conflicts.

  4. Depending on the problem area and challenge to be addressed, examples here include civil-society organizations, citizens, affected societal groups, consumers, users, and employees.
