dilemma definition

dilemma means ‘having to decide between two or more alternatives that seem equally desirable or undesirable.’ However, the working definition in the SRIA context also in- cludes the understanding of dilemmas as ‘difficult situations where the path taken is not clearly beneficent and the need to compromise continuously appears. In other words, typical implementation, transition, and innovation situations’ and, hence, dilemmas ‘oc- cur where the level of uncertainty is too high to rely on a pre-calculated action plan.’ 12
