Types of problems
There are 3 types of problems.They are,
simple problems
complex problem
complicated problems
simple problems: no particular expertise is required.
By facing those simple problems we can get optimistic approach to problems possible.
can get good results every time.
complicated problems: high levels of expertise in a variety of fields are necessary.
There is high certainty of outcome.
optimistic approach to problems possible.
complex problems : expertise can contribute but it is neither necessary nor sufficient to assure success.
uncertainty of outcome.

Linear thinking
what is linear thinking?
A systematic, analytical thought process known as "linear thinking" is one that moves in a straight line-like sequence of established steps. For those who think linearly, a problem is viewed as a process with a predetermined beginning, moving through a series of interconnected events until it is resolved.
