Summary/Abstract: An increasing complexity and variety of the management problems in contemporary circumstances implies that the problem situations that are relevant for the enterprises' survival and development should be observed and explored as appropriate complex, dynamic, interactive, and ambiguous systems of problems. A systemic reconceptualization of the management problems in business economics is aimed at creative improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of the management process in enterprises. Actually, through the critical systems thinking and practice, the dichotomies of management problems should be identified, the two corresponding methodological orientations ought to be singled out and reviewed, and then the appropriate systems methodologies for structuring the problem situations and the suitable methods for solving the problems in enterprises should be joined to the main problem contexts resulting from the simultaneous consideration of the two key dimensions of the management issues. By means of systems reconceptualization of management problems in business economics, the process of making the theoretical-methodologically grounded, practically useful and socially responsible changes, whose implementation should result in a significant improvement of the enterprise functioning, can be significantly underpinned.
