1. the fishing analogy did not leave scope for creative problem solving.
2. the fishing analogy involved a search procedure for fitting something into some specific setting.
3. the circumstances around the recruitment problem were significantly different from thosementioned in the fishing analogy.
4. other analogies like looking for antiques or buying a new suit were better fits than the fishinganalogy, to solve the problem.
the fishing analogy did not leave scope for creative problem solving.
1. in problem solving using vehicles of lateral thinking, the process of thinking is set free from theshackles that pre-conceived notions may create.
2. having patience is an integral virtue of any problem solving or creative thinking exercise.
3. a conclusion reached by the process of lateral thinking cannot be proved logically correct byquoting the analogy through which it was created.
4. analogies are similar to mathematical induction in all respects.
a conclusion reached by the process of lateral thinking cannot be proved logically correct byquoting the analogy through which it was created.
1. because the two are unconnected, and hence ideas that may emerge may provide radical insightsinto the problem.
2. because the analogy assists in leading to the solution along a more structured and logical path.
3. because the analogy benefits from its loose association with natural phenomena which in turnenhances the visualization capability of the problem solver.
4. due to the variety of options that an analogy can create which makes problem solving moveforward.
due to the variety of options that an analogy can create which makes problem solving moveforward.
1. highlight the benefits of one analogy over another.
2. demonstrate the importance of using various analogies to solve the same problem.
3. prove that analogies that parallel the logic of the problem are ineffective in solving the problem.
4. point out that using an unrelated or loosely related analogy may provide equivalent or bettersolutions as it frees the mind to think on a larger canvas.
