Morphological box
Origin: Gr. μορφο- y –μορφος, λογία lat. capsa
A tool used in morphological analysis, for multidimensional, non-quantifiable problems where causal modeling and simulation do not function well or at all. The morphological box defines a set of parameters in the left column and lists all alternatives for each parameter. The next step consists in selecting the most efficient or coherent combinations of all parameter alternatives. Morphological analysis and morphological box need some graphs /illustrations /examples.
Spanish: Caja morfológica
