— Strategic Decision Support Modelling with Morphological Analysis —
General Morphological Analysis (GMA) is a computer-aided method for structuring and analysing the total set of relationships contained in multi-dimensional, non-quantifiable, problem complexes. Developed at the Swedish National Defence Research Agency (FOI), it can be used for structuring complex policy and planning issues, developing scenario and strategy laboratories, analysing organisational and stakeholder structures, and creating business logic models. GMA is especially useful for working with what has been termed Wicked Problems and Social Messes.
The Swedish Morphological Society is a registered, not-for-profit scientific organisation whose purpose is the dissemination of knowledge concerning the scientific use of morphological analysis, its theory and practice. We present articles and links on morphological analysis, its pioneer Professor Fritz Zwicky (California Institute of Technology), and on Projects where morphological analysis has been utilized. A preliminary Tutorial: "Modeling Complex Socio-Technical Systems using Morphological Analysis" is on the tutorial page.
