Systems Concepts in Action: A Practitioner's Toolkit explores the
application of systems ideas to investigate, evaluate, and
intervene in complex and messy situations. The text serves as a
field guide, with each chapter representing a method for describing
and analyzing; learning about; or changing and managing a challenge
or set of problems. The book is the first to cover in detail such a
wide range of methods from so many different parts of the systems
field. The book's Introduction gives an overview of systems
thinking, its origins, and its major subfields. In addition, the
introductory text to each of the book's three parts provides
background information on the selected methods. Systems Concepts in
Action may serve as a workbook, offering a selection of tools that
readers can use immediately. The approaches presented can also be
investigated more profoundly, using the recommended readings
provided. While these methods are not intended to serve as
"recipes," they do serve as a menu of options from which to choose.
Readers are invited to combine these instruments in a creative
manner in order to assemble a mix that is appropriate for their own
strategic needs.
