Summary/Abstract: An increasing variety of methodologies, methods, techniques, and models can be considered as a methodological response to an increasing complexity, heterogenety and turbulence of problem situations that managers must tackle in contemporary circumstances. Based on critical systems thinking, pluralism in systems thinking and practice tries to support creative dealing with the management problem situations rom multiple perspectives of the key stakeholders and to facilitate the use of different methodologies in combination. In structuring the management problem situations in organizations, pluralism: a) must encourage flexibility in the use of the widest variety of methods, techniques, and models in any intervention; b) should encourage the combined use of different methodologies based upon alternative paradigms in the same intervention; c) must accept and manage a degree of paradigm incompatibility.
