PROBLEM CONTEXTS - A CONSULTANTS PERSPECTIVE

This paper is an attempt at building on the idea of a ''system of syst ems methodologies'' to introduce a dynamic element in its use and ther eby increase its effectiveness. The author, a practicing management co nsultant, has perceived the advantages of classifying various systems methodologies on the basis of problem contexts. Additional benefit, as sesses the author, will be obtained by recognizing the dynamic nature of these contexts. Some insights have been developed on this theme. Ar eas needing further theoretical enhancement and action research are al so identified.
