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. 606 $aKnowledge management 606 $aService industries 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aEvolutionary economics 606 $aInstitutional economics 606 $aEconomic sociology 606 $aKnowledge Management 606 $aServices 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 606 $aInstitutional and Evolutionary Economics 606 $aEconomic Sociology 615 0$aKnowledge management. 615 0$aService industries. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 0$aEvolutionary economics. 615 0$aInstitutional economics. 615 0$aEconomic sociology. 615 14$aKnowledge Management. 615 24$aServices. 615 24$aInnovation and Technology Management. 615 24$aInstitutional and Evolutionary Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Sociology. 676 $a354.81150006 686 $aQP 350$2rvk 702 $aMetcalf$b Gary S.$f1957- 702 $aKijima$b K$g(Kyoichi),$f1951- 702 $aDeguchi$b Hiroshi$f1955- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495192303321 996 $aHandbook of Systems Sciences$92582225 997 $aUNINA
