The change from GOFS to future systemics can be represented, as shown in the book title, by the conceptual change from Collective Beings to Quasi-systems. With the current advancements, problems and approaches occurring in contemporary science, systemics are moving beyond the traditional frameworks used in the past. From Collective Beings to Coherent Quasi-Systems outlines a conceptual morphology and landscape for a new theoretical perspective for systemics introducing the concept of Quasi-systems. Advances in domains such as theoretical physics, philosophy of science, cell biology, neuroscience, experimental economics, network science and many others offer new concepts and technical tools to support the creation of a fully transdisciplinary General Theory of Change. This circumstance requires a deep reformulation of systemics, without forgetting the achievements of established conventions. The book is divided into two parts. Part I, examines classic systemic issues from new theoretical perspectives and approaches. A new general unified framework is introduced to help deal with topics such as dynamic structural coherence and Quasi-systems. This new theoretical framework is compared and contrasted with the traditional approaches. Part II focuses on the process of translation into social culture of the theoretical principles, models and approaches introduced in Part I. This translation is urgent in post-industrial societies where emergent processes and problems are still dealt with by using the classical or non-systemic knowledge of the industrial phase. 410 0$aContemporary Systems Thinking,$x1568-2846 606 $aOperations research 606 $aDecision making 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aEconomics$xSociological aspects 606 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13090 606 $aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22020 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aDecision making. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 0$aEconomics$xSociological aspects. 615 14$aOperations Research/Decision Theory. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology. 676 $a658.40301 700 $aMinati$b Gianfranco$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$034348 702 $aPessa$b Eliano$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298203003321 996 $aFrom Collective Beings to Quasi-Systems$92510005 997 $aUNINA
