Abstract: The article substantiates, for the purpose to improve effectiveness of management processes in society, the necessity to complement the classical management science dealing with management of the 'systems world', by evergetics - science of intersubjective management processes in the 'world of everyday life', which has in its field of vision regulatory processes of problem situations involving heterogeneous actors. The scientists, operating in the field of management, create for actors - these 'ordinary managers-theoreticians' - methods and tools necessary to carry out their activities. Heterogeneous actors define priorities for the development of the situation, formulate problems to be solved, establish criteria and constraints under which these problems should be solved, i.e., they answer the question 'why?' and 'what to do?' in order to settle the problem situation that has arisen in their everyday life.

Keywords: management processes; society; evergetics; intersubjective management; everyday life; problem situations; heterogeneous actors; values; meaning-generating activity; communicative action; systems world; management science.
