Solving of Small Problems : An Analytic, Appreciative and Applicative Study

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze, appreciate, and apply the royal working principle in respect with solving small problems. The study was based on the qualitative approach by studying and compiling the related information from all documents and research papers relating to the royal working principles of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The results were as follows. 1. From the analysis result, it was found that “small point” in the working context was a component of success established although each component came from small points to be combined together, but each had an important function. If either of these components got lost, others would be affected. 2. From the appreciative result, solving small problems helped reduce the working risk. It let us review the details of both main and minor points at the minor structural level, promote the rationale thinking, cultivate the habit of paying attention in details, and help reduce some risk to demolish all work structure unnecessarily. 3. From the applicative result, it was found that this royal working principle could be applied in: 1) reliance with no expectation; 2) remove components; and 3) weak point survey. Solving small problems could be used to develop ideas for solving other problems further.
