摘要: Abstract Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) is a computer based technique for helping small groups develop graphical representations of complex systems. In this paper, the rationale use Interpretative in activities such as technology assessment developed and basic concepts underlying are explored. Several applications ISM described from these experiences some observations made about nature effectiveness process product. was found to provide its users with systematic comprehensive method integrating group judgments development “first-cut‘ structural models. At same time, however, be relatively inflexible may, instances, inhibit processes. Possible directions less rigid methods suggested.
