Applying Systems Thinking

Applying Systems Thinking offers, in progressive fashion, the main concepts of systems thinking and clarifies these at each step.

Extracting the practical elements of systems thinking outlined in Rethinking the Fifth Discipline, this book expands upon these elements in straightforward terms, to facilitate a better understanding of the structure and behaviour of organizational activity. By approaching the subject from a practical viewpoint, and providing examples of real life applications, this volume aims to bridge the gap between pragmatists and academics, and will appeal to both practitioners and students alike.
