Applications of Systems Thinking and Soft Operations Research in Managing Complexity
This book captures current trends and developments in the field of systems thinking and soft operations research which can be applied to solve today''s problems of dynamic complexity and interdependency. Such ‘wicked problems’ and messes are seemingly intractable problems characterized as value-laden, ambiguous, and unstable, that resist being tamed by classical problem solving. Actions and interv...
