Abstract
We propose the new perspective of the soft systems methodology as knowledge itself in addition to the viewpoint of a transformation device of knowledge, that is, we assume that the soft systems methodology has the double-loop structure. Then, regarding the soft systems methodology and its practices as "knowledge", we study the soft systems methodology from the perspective of the knowledge management. Based on this study, we articulate the possibility of the soft systems methodology as a systems methodology for the knowledge management practices.
