Soft Systems Methodology Critiqued for Neglecting Intrinsic Characteristics

European Journal of Information Systems
Critique of two contributions to soft systems methodology

Paper Summary

The article critiques two papers on soft systems methodology (SSM) for not focusing enough on what makes SSM unique. SSM is user-dependent and open to interpretation, but the papers didn't delve into these aspects deeply enough. The critique suggests that more attention should be paid to the intrinsic characteristics of SSM for a more rigorous and nuanced understanding.
