Features: Change is a product of our time. Today's managers need to handle increasingly complex, dynamic, and diverse issues. Traditional, single-theory-based solutions often fail to be effective when applied to practical problems in a complex world, and may even suppress organizational creativity. Therefore, more and more managers are turning to systems thinking. Systems thinking avoids providing simple solutions to complex problems and instead handles complexity, change, and diversity in an holistic and creative way. This book covers almost all major developments in the field of systems thinking over the past 15 years and illustrates the application of various systems approaches in management through numerous examples. The book is divided into three parts. Contemporary World Academic Masterpieces Series in Management. Contemporary World Academic Masterpieces Series in Management.
