520    "This book is about an innovative approach that lets 
       members of progressive organizations function as applied 
       scientists and problem solvers. This means that in such 
       organizations work becomes more mindful. Decisions can be 
       made based on inventories of information and analysis of 
       data-couched tentatively, to be sure, subject to 
       ratification through additional study. At the working 
       level, planning and action can become linked, and the 
       organization thereby becomes problem-oriented rather than 
       crisis-reactive. It is ironic that this problem-oriented 
       approach has evolved most explicitly and self-consciously 
       in policing. We tend to think of police in terms of brawn 
       rather than brains, and we may conceive of police officers
       as spending time wrestling with suspects and engaged in 
       hot pursuits of fleeing felons. Police are perceived as 
       the embodiment of blind reactivity, and yet an applied 
       social-scientific focus on work has sprung up and taken 
       root within the ranks of police. This book is addressed to
       those interested in the process of organizational change 
       in settings in which a problem-oriented focus may be 
       relevant. I am interested, therefore, in making the 
       process of problem-oriented activity come alive and in 
       conveying some sense of what such activity means to those 
       who engage in its exercise"--Introd. (PsycINFO Database
