  42. About Systems

  43. Nature of Systems • The whole is more than the sum of parts • The whole defines the nature of the parts • The parts cannot be understood by studying the whole • The parts are dynamically interrelated or interdependent • Fredrich Hegel (1770-1831)

  44. “All phenomena can be explained in system terms” - von Bertalanffy (1962)

  45. “It is the beauty of systems that it is psycho-physical neutral, that is, its concepts and models can be applied to both material and non-material phenomena” - von Bertalanffy (1967)

  46. A system is s set of two or more elements that satisfies the following: • The behavior of each element has an effect on the behavior of the whole • The behavior of the elements and their effects on the whole are interdependent • However, subgroups of the elements are formed, all have an effect on the whole, but none has an independent effect on it - Russell Ackoff (1981)

  47. A Formula Defining A System

  48. A business organization can beexplained in system terms A Manager can boils down to four basic steps: • Define the company as a system • Establish system objectives • Create formal subsystems • Integrate the subsystems

  49. A “Concept” Allows Us to: • Talk to another • Exchange ideas • Learn by applying the same concept to different substantive issues

  50. System Concept • A Foundation – underlies the field of IS • The system concept helps you understand: • Technology • Applications • Development • Management
