This book proposes that using two or more management science methodologies in the same intervention is likely to produce a richer picture for seeing and understanding the complex web of relationships and interconnectivities which is likely to lead to better decision taking by managers and workers. This is what is meant by multimethodology. In conclusion, the book explores several theoretical and philosophical perspectives on combining methodologies from different paradigms, as well as presenting many actual examples from practice.
