| Summary: | Many problem solving frameworks have been established in education, business and management, engineering, aerospace, laws and medicine in supporting effective decision making endeavors. Despite of the problem solving framework varieties in the numerous domains, they are all capable of solving problematic issues they are dealing with. This indicates that the frameworks share similar characteristics and capabilities regardless of their varieties. This paper reviews and synthesizes the essential characteristics and properties observed in problem solving framework across multiple domain of studies into a generalized principle. As a result of synthesis, there are nine essential and inherent characteristics observed in problem solving frameworks. This paper progresses to suggest the establishment of an alternative problem solving framework in the future should be based such generalized principles. © 2015 American Scientific Publishers.
