Features: Systems are both shackles of human self-restraint and a garland symbolizing civilized concepts such as self-discipline, compromise, tolerance, and dignity. In an era of increasingly fierce competition for interests, treating systems with kindness can be considered both a wise and practical survival philosophy. Indeed, treating systems with kindness is a solemn commitment of humanity to civilization. This book is divided into three units. Unit 1 explores the essence and foundational principles of system design. It first examines the nature and role of systems, then studies the relationship between systems and strategy, culture, ethics, human nature, management principles, and external regulations. On this basis, it proposes principles and requirements for system design, while also classifying system management into three stages: responsibility-right-power systems, functional systems, and operational-based systems. Unit 2 investigates two relatively straightforward system designs, including responsibility-right-power system design and functional system design. Unit 3 focuses on operational-based system design, which is the core of the book. It first analyzes general issues of operational-based system design, including the system element system, system document system, system design process, the pros and cons of systems, and their applicable scenarios. Then, it provides a detailed analysis of the specific operational methods for each step in the operational-based system design process.
