Abstract

In philosophy of science, the demarcation problem verifies what is scientific using as a verification criterion 'scientific method'. In this paper, softer rule named 'selective demarcation' that groups problems around criterion of existing measure or minimum principle was used for management aspects. Logical construction is based on Kuhn's paradigm concept, extended by Lakatos in 'scientific programs' approach to science development. These concepts were adapted as a set of joined paradigms describing the organisation and its interactions with the surroundings. It is a new approach to management science, which offers useful rational demarcation. As a result, the logical and consistent structure of measurable or having minimum property aspects of the management science was received. All problems that are classified this way may be transferred onto a computer language. The introduced 'representative management' research program is useful in quantisation and computation of management problems, and may be understood as a formal proof of their existing semantic model.
