Abstract

Complexity includes attributes of entanglement that result from relations and processes. It can be found in nature, society, organizations and technology. Humans specialize in their education, knowledge and experience. This makes specialists one-sided and thus hardly able to handle the given complexity, unless one applies one or more of the versions of systems theory, which support interdisciplinary creative cooperation, such as the Dialectical Systems Theory. The related applied methodologies and methods are also very useful, because they can be used without too much complexity of theories.
