Our world is composed of systems within systems-the machines we
build, the information we share, the organizations we form, and
elements of nature that surround us. Therefore, nearly every field
of study and practice embodies behaviors stemming from system
dynamics. Yet the study of systems has remained somewhat fragmented
based on philosophies, methodologies, and intentions. Many
methodologies for analyzing complex systems extend far beyond the
traditional framework of deduction evaluation and may, thus, appear
mysterious to the uninitiated. This book seeks to dispel the
mysteries of systems analysis by holistically explaining the
philosophies, methodologies, and intentions in the context of
understanding how all types of systems in our world form and how
these systems break. This presentation is made at the level of
conceptual understanding, with plenty of figures but no
mathematical formulas, for the beginning student and interested
readers new to studying systems. Through the conceptual
understanding provided, students are given a powerful capability to
see the hidden behaviors and unexplained consequences in the world
around us.
