Researching systems methodology

some future prospects

Peter Checkland

pp. 9-15

Abstract

Since research is intended to create new knowledge, we cannot, by definition, predict with much certainty the outcome of research activity. If we could, the knowledge would not be new. We can, however, indicate areas in which to seek new knowledge and speculate upon where current work might take us. That is what I intend to do here in relation to some research in the peculiar discipline of systems, particularly that concerned with methodology.
