Systems Thinking brings together classic and contemporary writings that cross the entire breadth of the systems field. The four-volume set includes the most influential theoretical papers, as well as applications in domains as diverse as global environmental modelling, business strategy, public sector planning, family therapy and the management of organizations.Key critiques of the leading writers allow the researcher to understand how and why paradigm breaks took place, and to grasp the extraordinary diversification of systems theory and practice we see today.Systems Thinking will be an essential reference for all libraries of business, management and organization studies.International Advisory BoardPeter Allen, Cranfield University, UKBela H Banathy, Saybrook Institute, USA & International Systems Institute, USAKenneth Bausch, Institute for 21st Century Agoras, USARichard Bawden, Michigan State University, USASøren Brier, Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, DenmarkDavid Campbell, Tavistock Clinic, UKFritjof Capra, Center for Ecoliteracy, USAPeter Checkland, Lancaster University, UKJosé Córdoba, University of Hull, UKPeter Corning, Institute for the Study of Complex Systems, USADonald de Raadt, Luleå University, SwedenEric Dent, University of Maryland, University College, USAPeter Dudley, Integra Management Systems Ltd., UKRobert Flood, Maastricht University, The NetherlandsJoyce Fortune, Open University, UKWojciech Gasparski, Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, PolandWendy Gregory, University of Hull, UKJifa Gu, JAIST, Japan & Institute of Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, ChinaEnrique Herrscher, IDEA, ArgentinaKristo Ivanov, Umea University, SwedenMike Jackson, University of Hull, UKJames Kay, University of Waterloo, CanadaLisl Klein, Bayswater Institute, UKGeorge Klir, Binghampton University, USAErvin Laszlo, Club of Budapest, HungaryHarold Linstone, Portland State University, USASid Luckett, University of Natal, South AfricaGianfranco Minati, Italian Systems Society, ItalyJohn Mingers, Warwick University, UKHeiner M ller Merbach, Universität Kaiserslautern, GermanyP N Murthy, Tata Consultancy Services, IndiaYoshiteru Nakamori, Japan Advanced Institute for Science and Technology (JAIST), JapanHarold Nelson, Advance Design Institute, Seattle, USARoger Packham, University of Western Sydney, AustraliaYong Pil Rhee, Seoul National University, South KoreaKurt Richardson, Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence, USAFenton Robb, Independent Author, UKRicardo Rodríguez-Ulloa, Instituto Andino de Sistemas, PeruSimanta Roy-Chowdhury, Barnet, Enfield and Harringay NHS Trust & University of East London, UKJohn Sterman, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USASytse Strijbos, Free University of Amsterdam, NetherlandsStuart Umpleby, George Washington University, USAJohn Van Gigch, California State University, USAJohn Warfield, George Mason University, USAJennifer Wilby, The University of York, UKEric Wolstenholme, Cognitus Ltd., UKMaurice Yolles, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
