There are many ways in which systems sciences can be described. This handbook takes a multifaceted view of systems sciences and describes them in terms of a relatively large number of dimensions, from natural and engineering science to social science and systems management perspectives. It is not the authors’ intent, however, to produce a catalog of systems science concepts, methodologies, tools, or products. Instead, the focus is on the structural network of a variety of topics. Special emphasis is given to a cyclic–interrelated view; for example, when a theory of systems sciences is described, there is also discussion of how and why the theory is relevant to modeling or practice in reality. Such an interrelationship between theory and practice is also illustrated when an applied research field in systems sciences is explained. The chapters in the handbook present definitive discussions of systems sciences from a wide array of perspectives. The needs of practitioners in industry and government as well as students aspiring to careers in systems sciences provide the motivation for the majority of the chapters. The handbook begins with a comprehensive introduction to the coverage that follows. It provides not only an introduction to systems sciences but also a brief overview and integration of the succeeding chapters in terms of a knowledge map. The introduction is intended to be used as a field guide that indicates why, when, and how to use the materials or topics contained in the handbook.Knowledge managementService industriesTechnological innovationsEvolutionary economicsInstitutional economicsEconomic sociologyKnowledge ManagementServicesInnovation and Technology ManagementInstitutional and Evolutionary EconomicsEconomic SociologyKnowledge management.Service industries.Technological innovations.Evolutionary economics.Institutional economics.Economic sociology.Knowledge Management.Services.Innovation and Technology Management.Institutional and Evolutionary Economics.Economic Sociology.354.81150006QP 350rvkMetcalf Gary S.1957-Kijima K(Kyoichi),1951-Deguchi Hiroshi1955-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910495192303321Handbook of Systems Sciences2582225UNINA
