Constructive Social Systems Theory - As Sciences of the Techno-Social Artificial -

The first Internet revolution has caused the deep change on the B2C based industrial structure and related life worlds. The second Internet revolution which is characterized by IoT based technology & management will change B2B based industrial structure and our life world where we are embedded in functionally and semantically through division of labor. New distributed organization and related work style depend on new division of labor which will be created by IoT based management. This is one possible scenario of a reality sift. There is another reality shift scenario where B2B platform will be locked-In and the labor market will be divided into “high value added & high capability creative class” & “low value added & low capability worker class”.

We are living not on stable traditional life world but on fluid & continuously constructed & reconstructed world. Where we are confronted by continuous reality shift.

The process of modernization is characterized not only by a disembedded & personalizing process from traditional reality. There exists a new embedded process in a new constructed reality.

How we can analyze the embedded and disembedded process?

Natural sciences and some social sciences focus on the universal law. But it is impossible to find the universal social law for a society because a reality of a society is a constructed reality. Some social sciences focus on construction of a reality for a limited context. They do not focus on the techno-social system where both functional and semantic aspects are required. On the contrary, there exists a commensurability gap between functional and semantic aspects.

We have to bridge the commensurability gap between functional and semantic aspects and have to construct a new methodology and modeling method to manage the reality shift process as “Constructive Social Systems Theory”.
