System and Systems Thinking: Fundamental Theory and Practice A. Gharakhani Bahar 1. izdevums

"System" is a common word that is used in all fields of the human knowledge. Many people, without having an exact meaning of the word system in mind, use it more and more in their daily conversations or writings in some way. In this book, general and universal concepts and methods of system and systems thinking that are common in all fields of the human knowledge, are presented in a new form under the title of "System and Systems Thinking as a Fundamental Theory and Practice Framework". What are presented in this book, are the basic concepts so that as the pieces of a puzzle have completed each other as a whole in the form of a fundamental theory and practice framework based on the system and systems thinking concepts. We will see how by starting from the objects and related events and their governing orders and rules as the constant and variable aspects in the space and time of the world we are faced with, we can reach to the structures, behaviors and disciplines by the aid of matter, energy and information that dominate the things as systems in the world around us. Also it will be revealed that how the information like the matter and energy is among the basic necessities of the organic systems and why there is so much sensitivity and discussions about the free flow of information in human societies for example like the accessibility of matter in the form of any material thing and energy in the form of electricity for all humans. Because of the generality of the subject and its usefulness for a wide range of people, the content of this book is also good for teaching in a university interdisciplinary and organizational vocational course or work shop. For this purpose, at the end of the book, additional teaching material is also available for the instructors and students who wish to use this book in a teaching course.
