Problem of Incommensurability(Kuhn)
• Occurs when participants from different disciplines and cultures disagree over what is a problem worth solving, the proper way to solve it and even what constitutes data
• Stakeholders may disagree on the nature and scope of the system under study and the goals of management, including which stakeholders matter

• Sketches , models, equations could also serve as creoles
