Research of complex management problems – an example of policy evaluation

Abstract

Recognition that the society has become complex, means that the truth about social issues such as about identification of public interest or about policy effectiveness is not a single one, e.i. the official one of those in power, but there are a variety of well-founded and equally valid truths. The public management is complex, therefore different views do not share common denominator; they should therefore be regarded as incommensurable. This means that it is necessary to examine the social phenomena in their duality between the interpretation of the primary meanings, which are constitutive for the system as a whole, but on the deeply divisive way, and the interpretation of the secondary meanings of the evaluated social phenomenon, but only in the contents of which are not essential for anyone.
