This book provides an introduction to elementary probability and to Bayesian statistics using de Finetti’s subjectivist approach. One of the features of this approach is that it does not require the introduction of sample space – a non-intrinsic concept that makes the treatment of elementary probability unnecessarily complicate – but introduces as fundamental the concept of random numbers directly related to their interpretation in applications. Events become a particular case of random numbers and probability a particular case of expectation when it is applied to events.

In this book, Kees Dorst describes a new, innovation-centered approach to problem-solving in organizations: frame creation.
