Abstract

The increasing use of soft systemic methods (MSM) to solve complex problems in socio-economic systems has revealed the need to have reliable, reliable and empirical studies supported methods for assessing their effectiveness and efficiency. MSM are designed for unique situations that are difficult to study from a methodological, theoretical and practical point of view, therefore the MSM assessment process itself has not yet received reliable methodological support. The assessment of the method is influenced by situational factors, the skills of the researcher and the goals of the stakeholders. The methodological basis of the approach developed by J. Midgley and colleagues to assess MSM is discussed, which allows one to determine significant assessment parameters and make long-term comparisons between the methods.
