摘要：
To facilitate the use of systems-based techniques and approaches more systematically, these have been related to each other by different schemes in the past. A review of the literature is presented to highlight the development of cohesive frameworks and use of a spectral and integrative paradigm. An outline of ''flexible systems methodology'' is provided to resolve the end of continuum paradoxes in the literature in a spectral and integrative manner. The methodology is presented in terms of its purpose, philosophy, paradigm, steps, strengths, and limitations. A case study of energy policy analysis is presented to demonstrate the application of Flexible Systems Methodology.
