The premise that giving advice is a design problem is central to this book. It means that advice is seen as an artefact, as information communicated by an advisor to an advisee. Drawing on arguments in philosophy, recent empirical research in individual and group decision-making, and in information systems engineering, the book offers a rigorous approach to the analysis and design of advice in real-world decision situations, in which the advisor must manage with variously imprecise, unclear, incomplete or conflicting qualitative information. treats advice as a general design artifact, independent of the applicationdomain. rejects unrealistic assumptions of classical decision theory about perfect rationality and exact numerical, quantitative estimates of probability. innovatively combines elements from management science, computer science, and mathematical logic.
