Systems thinking can be broadly considered the activity of thinking applied in a systems context, forming a basis for fundamental approaches to several systems disciplines, including systems engineering, systems science, and system dynamics. Although these are somewhat distinct fields, they are bound by common approaches in regard to systems. Whereas systems engineering seeks to apply a multidisciplinary, holistic approach to the development of systems, systems science seeks to understand the basics related to systems of all kinds, from natural to man-made, and system dynamics seeks to understand system structures in order to influence its dynamics. Man-made systems have become more ubiquitous and complex. The study of systems, both natural and engineered, presents new challenges and opportunities to understand emergent, dynamic behaviors that inform the process of sense-making based on systems thinking.History of engineering and technologybicsscacademic impact of SSMapplication integrationbehavior modelingbibliometricscapacity for systems thinkingclinical modelscompetenceconcept mapcycles and cyclingdata visualizationecological economicseducation for sustainable developmentemergent behaviorfamilyfamily systemfrontier researchGeneral Inquiry Frameworkgeneral systems principlesgeneral systems theoryGSThealthcare system designheuristic systems principlesintegrative theoryisomorphic systems processes (ISPs)IT integrationIT integration drawbacksmaturity modelsmental modelsmodel-based systems engineeringMonterey Phoenix (MP)Murray BowenMyers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality type testnatural systems thinkingneoliberalismontology of systemspath biographypath dependencyscientific systems principlesshadow ITsocio-technical systemsoft systems methodology (SSM)specialized systems principlessustainabilityswitching costssystem thinkingsystems approachsystems educationsystems engineeringsystems perspectivesystems philosophysystems processes theory (SPT)systems thinkingteacher educationtermbaseUN sustainable development goalsworldviewWorldview Inquiry FrameworkHistory of engineering and technologyWhitcomb Cliffedt1322887Davidz HeidiedtGroesser StefanedtWhitcomb CliffothDavidz HeidiothGroesser StefanothBOOK9910557110603321Systems Thinking3035219UNINA
