Inductive reasoning

Inductive reasoning moves from specific details to broader generalizations. Informally, we sometimes call this a "bottom up"approach. Inductive reasoning begins with specific observations and measures of detailed tasks and assignments, which are then categorized and classified into functional activities (e.g. Sales,

Marketing) to form general plans and strategies.

Deductive reasoning

Deductive reasoning works from the more general to the more specific. Sometimes this is informally called a "top-down" approach.

Flowcharting

(step-by-step) solution to a business problem before you actually start

to write the action plan.

MBO
