面向管理复杂性的元系统方法论——评杰克逊(Michael C.Jackson)的创造性整体论

Systems Meta-methodology to Management Complexity——Comments on Creative Holism of Michael C.Jackson

如何合理的结合使用各种系统方法论范式成为管理的系统方法论研究中一个重要论题。在遵循应用系统思考的研究进路中,需要社会学理论和系统思想作为方法论的理论支持。在理解和使用各种系统方法论时,坚持多元主义是一个基本的立场,但元理论与多元方法论并不矛盾,因此,面向管理复杂性,需要建构一种包括元方法论与元理论、包容并超越多元主义的元范式。

It is a key issue in systems methodology for management how to make combined use of various systems methodology paradigms. While following the research approach of applied systems thinking, social theories and systems thinking are still in need to be the theoretical support for methodologies. Insisting on pluralism is a basic stand in understanding and using various systems methodologies, but metatheory does not contradict multimethodologies. So a metaparadigm containing metamethodology and metatheory needs to be set up to management complexity, which is compatible with and beyond pluralism.
