Line 10:
Solutions require sufficient resources and knowledge to attain the goal. Professionals such as lawyers, doctors, programmers, and consultants are largely problem solvers for issues that require technical skills and knowledge beyond general competence. Many businesses have found profitable markets by recognizing a problem and creating a solution: the more widespread and inconvenient the problem, the greater the opportunity to develop a [[Scalability|scalable]] solution.
There are many specialized problem-solving techniques and methods in fields such as [[science]], [[engineering]], [[business]], [[medicine]], [[mathematics]], [[computer science]], [[philosophy]], and [[societies|social organization]]. The mental techniques to identify, analyze, and solve problems are studied in [[psychology]] and [[cognitive science]]s. Also widely researched are the mental obstacles that prevent people from finding solutions; problem-solving impediments include [[confirmation bias]], [[mental set]], and [[functional fixedness]].
