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 interventions associated with this complex problem space can have highly unpredictable and unintended consequences. Examples of such complex problems include health care reform, global climate change, transnational serious and organized crime, terrorism, homeland security, human security, disaster management, and humanitarian aid. Moving towards the development of solutions to these complex problem spaces depends on the lens we use to examine them and how we frame the problem. It will be shown that systems thinking and soft operations research has had great success in contributing to the management of complexity. . 410 0$aAdvanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications,$x1613-5113 606 $aStatistical physics 606 $aDynamical systems 606 $aOperations research 606 $aDecision making 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aSystem safety 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000 606 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 606 $aSecurity Science and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31080 606 $aSimulation and Modeling$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I19000 606 $aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090 615 0$aStatistical physics. 615 0$aDynamical systems. 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aDecision making. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aSystem safety. 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 14$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aOperations Research/Decision Theory. 615 24$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aSecurity Science and Technology. 615 24$aSimulation and Modeling. 615 24$aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems. 676 $a658.403 702 $aMasys$b Anthony J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254612303321 996 $aApplications of Systems Thinking and Soft Operations Research in Managing Complexity$92503841 997 $aUNINA
