It weaves together material from some of the pre-eminent thinkers of the day - Maturana, Varela, Bateson, Merleau-Ponty, Checkland, Giddens, Habermas, Bhaskar, and Luhmann - to create a coherent path from the most fundamental work on philosophical issues of ontology and epistemology through specific domains of knowledge about the nature of information and meaning, human communication, and social intervention right up to the implications of these theoretical developments for action and intervention in real-world affairs. It will be of interest to scholars in philosophy, biology, information systems, communications, social theory, management science and operational research as well as everyone in the systems community. 0aECONOMICS. 0aBUSINESS PLANNING. 0aMANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS. 0aSOCIOLOGY.14aECONOMICS/MANAGEMENT SCIENCE.24aMANAGEMENT.24aBUSINESS/MANAGEMENT SCIENCE, GENERAL.24aOPERATIONS RESEARCH/DECISION THEORY.24aBUSINESS INFORMATION SYSTEMS.24aORGANIZATION/PLANNING.24aSOCIOLOGY.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9780387281889 0aContemporary Systems Thinking,x1568-284640uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/0-387-29841-XzVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
