Visualization and Visual Modelling for Strategic Analysis and Problem-Solving

Strategic problem-solving is a complicated task that requires processing of large amount of information using theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Effective problem-solving requires fast and accurate comprehension and analysis of the issues surrounding the problem. There are several tools, techniques and frameworks that support strategic analysis and decision-making. This paper develops a framework to clarify the relationship between visualization and modelling, and offers a classification scheme for visualization and modelling tools and techniques with a perspective on strategic problem-solving.
