Systems Theory

About this ebook
Systems theory is often referred as system science. It is
interdisciplinary study of systems in common terms. Main goal
of such studies is to discover new patterns and elucidating
principles. Such principles are meant to be derived from and
applied to almost any kind of system in all fields of research.
These principles can be applied on such fields up to nesting
levels. System theory or system science is often considered
specialization of system thinking. The principles derived from it
are simply gold output of this science of system or systems
theory and systems engineering. It uses the emphasis on
generality. Such emphasis is useful across a wide system range.
When compared to particular models of individual fields, the
common emphasis can be applied over wider range of systems.
Central topic of this theory is systems. The systems hold a
self-correcting architecture. Feedback is used in order to
perform such self-correction over the systems and by the
systems themselves (quite confusing, isn't it?). Such
self-regulating systems can be found in nature. Here, term
"nature" also includes human body's physiological systems,
global ecosystems, local ecosystems, climate and human learning
processes as well. Including human or any individual living
being is approved or allowed by many international
organizations such as UN (United Nations).
Systems theory is originated from General System Theory
(GST) developed by Bertalanffy. Systems theory can be used in
many other fields. These fields or terms include action theory
and social theory. Moreover, the action theory was developed
by Talcott Parsons and the social systems theory was
developed by Niklas Luhmann.
Multiple diverse fields or areas provided base knowledge in
development of contemporary ideas of systems theory. Following
are some of these many fields and studies along with their
researchers:
Exemplification by the work of Ludwig von Bertalanffy. He
was a researcher in the field of biology.
Linguist Bela H. Banathy
Talcott Parsons in sociology
Howard T. Odum in ecological systems
Eugene Odum, Fritjof Capra, Peter Senge in the field of
organizational theory and management
Debora Hammond, Alfonso Montuori and Richard A.
Swanson in the field of Human Resource Development and
Interdisciplinary theories.
In the terms of transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary and
multiperspectival domain, concept of systems theory brings
together many principles from ontology, scientific philosophy,
physics, computer science, biology, engineering, sociology,
geography, political science, psychotherapy and economics.
Thus, it is said that systems theory acts as a link for
interdisciplinary dialogs that transfer between autonomous areas
of study. These areas also cover systems science itself.
