Features: This book aims to train systematic thinking. The content is divided into two levels. The first level mainly introduces commonly used systematic methods in management and decision-making, including (Hall's Three-Dimensional Structure), system analysis, problem analysis techniques, and Checkland's Soft Systems Method. It also introduces analytical methods for frameworks, boundaries, goals, structures, functions, and environments in system research. The second level further enhances systematic thinking through several specialized topics, covering system modeling, system self-organization, and system principles. This book is rich in case studies, which not only enhance readability but also many cases are derived from learners' practical experiences after studying this course. Therefore, it serves as an excellent model for cultivating systematic thinking skills. This book can be used as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in relevant courses at universities, as well as a reference book for economists, managers, and engineering professionals to learn system principles and methods and improve their systematic thinking abilities.
