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 & technologybicsscsystems philosophyheuristic systems principlesscientific systems principlesgeneral systems principlesspecialized systems principlesgeneral systems theoryGSTsustainabilitysystems thinkingUN sustainable development goalsmental modelsneoliberalismecological economicsisomorphic systems processes (ISPs)Monterey Phoenix (MP)behavior modelingemergent behaviorcycles and cyclingsystems processes theory (SPT)familyfamily systemnatural systems thinkingMurray Bowenintegrative theorycompetencematurity modelsworldviewWorldview Inquiry FrameworkGeneral Inquiry Frameworksystem thinkingsystems approachcapacity for systems thinkingMyers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality type testconcept maptermbasesystems perspectiveontology of systemsfrontier researchshadow ITIT integrationIT integration drawbacksapplication integrationpath dependencypath biographyswitching costseducation for sustainable developmentteacher educationsystems educationsoft systems methodology (SSM)bibliometricsacademic impact of SSMdata visualizationsystems engineeringhealthcare system designclinical modelssocio-technical systemmodel-based systems engineeringHistory of engineering & technologyWhitcomb Cliffedt1322887Davidz HeidiedtGroesser StefanedtWhitcomb CliffothDavidz HeidiothGroesser StefanothBOOK9910557110603321Systems Thinking3035219UNINA
