Realising Systems Thinking: Knowledge and Action in Management ScienceSpringer Science & Business Media, 13.9.2006 - 312 sivua This book deals with the contribution of a systems approach to a range of disciplines from philosophy and biology to social theory and management. It weaves together material from some of the pre-eminent thinkers of the day. In doing so it creates a coherent path from fundamental work on philosophical issues of ontology and epistemology through specific domains of knowledge about the nature of information and meaning, human communication, and social intervention. |
