Tiivistelmä
This thesis examines how complexity thinking is understood and how it relates to two other administrative science's key concepts - efficiency and uncertainty. At the same time, thesis was discerning towards an alternative interpretive framework based on philosophical hermeneutics and general complexity. The aim of this study was not to deny, demystify, or impose clearer dichotomous (categorization) thinking; it was to contemplate new ways complexity thinking claims to be producing an understanding.

The main objective of this thesis was to elucidate different presuppositions in the philosophy of science; how they affect, for instance, what we can depict in the first place, and how this relates towards what is truth and what is knowledge. Thesis challenges some of the taken for granted stands and conceptualizations in regard to the three concepts - complexity, uncertainty, and efficiency; concepts that forge administrative science's reality. How they together, separately, and in relation to elsewhere constrain what can be e.g. said, seen, or thought. Hence, analyses enunciated meanings and contexts that provide, for instance, novel interpretations. Furthermore, thesis examined these questions in relation to complex adaptive systems approach - how it depicts reality. Moreover, thesis showed how certain constraining understandings are evident inside it.

The end contribution and conclusion was an interpretation; an interpretation that illustrated complexity and the other two concepts in regard to the first one - inside an alternative interpretative framework. Interpretative framework depicted some exemplifying principles derived from Edgar Morin's general complexity and Hans-Georg Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics. Thesis showed how we can use them in order to position ourselves in a more 'complementary', a less mutilating way, in conjunction with other understandings.
