The Modern Systems Movement in the West
Zhichang Zhu
Abstract
The modern systems movement in the West is a multi-area, multi-discipline, multi-paradigm interactive process with increasing richness and depth. The article presents an overview of the process along a storyline of ‘investigating the world’, ‘understanding human cognition’ and ‘co-ordinating collective action’; it also outlines the contemporary experiences and fate of Western systems workers. The article is expected to supply some food-for-thought to indigenous systems research.
Keywords: systems movement, systems thinking, systems practice, systems workers, historical overview
