Methodological aspects of applying the system approach in scientific research of public administration

Abstract

It was determined that the system approach is one of the main directions of the methodology of special scientific knowledge and management practice, the purpose and task of which is the study of certain objects, processes and phenomena as complex systems. It is emphasized that the systematic approach contributes to the formation of an appropriate and adequate formulation of the essence of the researched problems in specific sciences and the selection of effective ways to solve them. It is noted that the methodological specificity of the system approach is that the purpose of the research is to study the laws and mechanisms of the formation of a complex object from certain components. It is emphasized that the systematic approach does not exist in the form of a clear methodology with a defined logical concept. This is an approach formed from a set of logical methods, methodological rules and principles of theoretical research, which thus perform a heuristic function in the general system of scientific knowledge.
