Talk:IPO model

Expanded IPO
I expanded IPO to allow for people who read the acronym IPO in a text book, and do not understand what it is...like me <.> Gollod (talk) 22:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Redirect
I learned the IPO "Model" as the IPO cycle, so I suggest that term be included with a redirect. 192.91.172.36 (talk) 21:58, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

IPO models in social psychology
These models are heavily used in theories and empirical research on group effectiveness. Does it make sense to disambiguate to include "IPO models in social psychology," create a section in the current page, or to create a new page on "IPO models in social psychology", with a link from the current page.

I don't have time to write this new page or section, but am posting some important references that should give an editor some useful background:

 * IPO models in social psychology appear to have little or nothing to do with this, which is entirely about describing industrial processes or information processes. A page for them should be interesting, if they are important in social psychology.  Ngriffeth (talk) 20:19, 7 September 2014 (UTC)Ngriffeth

Rewrite
I looked up Input-Process-Output while preparing an introductory programming lecture (I'm a professor of CS) and found an article that was unsourced and also discussing stuff that seemed related but almost entirely unfamiliar to me (and I've been familiar with the IPO model, and teaching it, since the late 1970's). Since it was unsourced, I started looking for sources other than my own textbooks on-line (because my own textbooks don't mention the Dexter model) and found very little that actually relates to the IPO model -- there's a hypertext reference model, which is a layered model for hypertext systems, and a 3d heavily muscled model named Dexter. I wasted a certain amount of enjoyable time on the latter, but it's not relevant here.

So I re-wrote this using some textbooks I have access to.

As a consequence .. very vulnerable to misinterpretation .. theoretically .. it contains all the data?
As a consequence of false application of the IPO pattern! The IPO pattern is used to get a better understanding of usually complex information processing systems. Doing a kind of black box consideration of many parts is practical here. The statement obove is rather not a common feature or aspect of an IPO view of things. Actually we use an IPO view taking into account that many things need to be simplified to concentrate on the main elements or main task or main problem of a more complex thing or process. For me this prominent place in the overview section of the IPO model/pattern irritates more than it explains. 62.153.224.75 (talk) 13:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
