Abstract

Computer Software soft systems methodology inquiry-in-inquiry
The concept of 'Inquiry-based' activity models in SSM is introduced. It is argued both that SSM embodies a process of Inquiry and that the notion of Inquiry is often relevant to conceptualizing activities of interest in a problem situation. Combining these two positions leads to the idea of using SSM as a generic reference model within itself. The term 'Inquiry-in-Inquiry' is used to denote this use of SSM as a generic reference model for the development of Inquiry-based activity models. The concept of Inquiry-based activity models is illustrated through the use of a model to investigate the handling of Information Technology innovation information in Small to Medium Enterprises
