Structuring Of complex problem with coercive stakeholders using Post Modern Operational Research

In the real world, in every problem, decision making of stakeholder of that problem is very important. Sometimes, at first, the definition of the problem is ambiguous, and the stakeholders of the problem, even at the stage of definition, are in conflict. The subject of stakeholders with different thoughts and sometimes incompatible thoughts has not been considered in traditional operational research (hard) and to structure these problems, it is necessary to use the new approaches to operational research that address the disparate categories of stakeholders (emancipating / critical and postmodern paradigms). If the nature of the problem is complex, choosing an appropriate approach among the above mentioned approaches is of particular importance. In the present study, after introducing various state of stakeholders, bring together the concept of paradigm in operational research and introducing relevant methodologies, describes the paradigm selection model and problem-solving methodology in the framework of the SOSM which proposes a postmodern paradigm for complex problems with coercive stakeholder. After reviewing the postmodern basics, a brief overview of postmodern thinking in the operational research is presented and after introducing the basics of postmodern operational research and its corresponding methodology, describes how it works based on that.
