Problem space: initial current state, goal state, possible states in bw. Problem is the gap bw an initial and a goal states. Solving the problem involves the application of a series of state transformations that will eliminate the gap. Analysis: using data to make decisions depends on an organizations ability to collect, organize, and otherwise transform data into info that can be used to support those decisions. Analysis- understanding the problem , formulating a solution plan, implementing the solution, evaluating the solution. Select the best way to solve the problem from the list of alternative solutions. List instructions needed to solve the problem using the selected solution.
