The purpose of this article is presentation theoretical and empirical analysis about complexity perception in organization. We propose following thesis: "perception of complexity in company is possible by separating complexity levels of particular areas of company activity". Taking into account the general aspect of perception and complexity perception in management to the understanding this concept we use the Cynefin model. We accept the assumption that the recognition complexity levels in selected areas create value in decision making processes. Theoretical considerations are supplemented by results of the study in 157 Polish SMEs. The study was conducted in May 2015.
