Cybernetics and Systems Thinking people study this stuff for quite some time. One can begin nowadays from Alex Ryan's "What is a Systems Approach?" http://arxiv.org/abs/0809.1698 The "Phenomenon of Science" is a nice book on the subject http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/POSBOOK.html In fact the whole of "Principia Cybernetica" site contains interesting stuff. And then there exists Cybernetic Management too: http://www.metaphorum.org -- http://gr.linkedin.com/in/yiorgos _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list [email protected] https://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
