Outlines of a New Methodology of Thinking and Management: Synergetic Approach (Cyclic-Vortex Hierarchies in the Concept of Meta-Management

DOI: 10.33917/es-5.203.2025.96-103

The article examines problematic issues related to developing post-non-classical methodology of thinking and management within the framework of the synergetic approach concept (all its modifications – synergetics 1, 2, 3). According to the authors, this approach includes characteristics of all the main approaches to management (systemic, in the form of managing dissipative systems, process-oriented, in the form of managing self-organization processes, and situational one, in the form of managing open/non-closed systems). The author’s version of the methodology is based on the evolutionary-constructive model of postnon- classical knowledge development by V.S. Stepin, which includes the focuses on “object”, “means” and “subject”. In the article methodology is understood in its classical sense as “a system of principles and methods for organizing and constructing theoretical and practical activities”. Methodology version, developed by the authors, includes several concepts combined into a single system of knowledge and technologies used in the form of cognitive and communicative actions of management subjects while developing and implementing solutions for a specific problem situation. The authors provide a brief description of meta-management/M-management concept and separate concepts characterizing various focuses of the model by V.S. Stepin. An extended description of the concept of cyclo-vortex hierarchies is proposed.

Post-non-classical Strategizing of the Problem Situations in the Concept of Social Navigation: Transition from Target Management to Attributive Designing

DOI: 10.33917/es-8.166.2019.94-101

The article deals with issues related to the concept of “strategizing” — the evolution of ideas about strategizing (classical, non-classical, post-non-classical and post-classical approaches). A new understanding of the concept of problem-solving strategies is presented from the point of view of the concept of socionavigation, as a process of maneuvering using attribute design: management/regulation of intensity, direction (balance) and complexity of the discourse of a single creative field (EKP) with regard to the level of disequilibrium (K-level) system/environment, allowing to increase the efficiency of teamwork. A new construction of the notion “problem situation” is proposed as a non-zero conjunction of the actors’ ideas about the problem/ problems underlying the problem situation, their (actors) problem states and systems of key goals and values that form the problem-target area (PTA)

Standards of Valuation Activities: Foreign Experience

#8. Hunting for Scientists
Standards of Valuation Activities: Foreign Experience

The article deals with foreign standards of valuation: international valuation standards, European valuation standards, as well as American, British and Japanese. Three models of valuation activities regulation are presented: public model, social and cooperative model (state and public control). Advantages and disadvantages of international valuation standards are formulated. At the same time, the content, composition and structure of international valuation standards can be useful for creating Russian evaluation standards and for developing the system of uniform valuation standards of the Eurasian Economic Union countries.

Work Team as a Network Structure Inducing a Common Creative Field

#5. The Forerunners of Memory

From the perspective of the network approach a working team is characterized as a local socio-cognitive network included in the overall networking. However, to understand the creative potential of the working team, according to the authors, specifying only localization of network order of social-cultural interactions is not enough. The analysis of creative team work aspects reveals some over-network phenomenon, which the authors called a common creative field.
