Applications of Systems Thinking and Soft Operations Research in Managing Complexity From Problem Framing to Problem Solving /

This book captures current trends and developments in the field of systems thinking and soft operations research which can be applied to solve today's problems of dynamic complexity and interdependency. Such 'wicked problems' and messes are seemingly intractable problems characterized...
