N2 - Problems in the design, development and management of large scale systems have be related to the multicultural contexts in which these systems are developed and deployed. Culture can be defined in terms of human values (axiology). Using an axiological lens, this paper explores potential value conflicts between systems engineers and the praxis in which they are formally educated. The findings provide evidence to support an axiological perspective of systems engineering and suggest that axiology could be extremely useful in understanding various aspects of systems engineering development, ethics and management.
