Description
Systems Thinking for Business and Management provides a comprehensive introduction to this holistic approach. By blending theory and practice, it reviews the fundamentals and applies systems thinking to real-world organizational contexts through global cases and examples. This textbook helps students develop valuable skills in systems analysis, business process modelling, problem solving, and decision making. The book covers various models, theories, and frameworks for generic systems, system properties, and classifications, as well as different methods for modelling and analysing different types of systems. It also discusses how system thinkers can imagine and model future systems, using experiential pedagogy such as practical activities and reflective exercises. Suitable for introductory modules on systems thinking at undergraduate, postgraduate, and MBA levels, this textbook is also of interest to practitioners looking to apply systems thinking to improve their organizations.
