An Introduction To Systems Science
This is the first book that renders a thorough discussion of systems science. It draws on material from an extensive collection of external sources, including several other books and a special library collection complete with videotape empirical evidence of applicability of the theory to a wide variety of circumstances. This is essential because systems science must be responsive to diverse human situations of the widest difficulty, and it must fill the void that the specific sciences cannot fill, because these sciences are insensitive to the necessities of reconciling disparate views of multiple observers, and incorporating local conditions in hypotheses that precede inductive explorations.
Introduction to Social Systems Engineering
This book integrates the basic theories (GST and Parson’s AGIL framework), applying them to the components of social systems, state-run and business firms. China’s development experience offers a valuable case study that can provide readers deeper insights into this comparatively young discipline, and into China. Though the discipline of systems engineering and its application to hardware engineering system are well established, social systems engineering is an emerging discipline still being explored. This book may be the first English-language publication on this promising subject.
Logistics and Supply Chain Management in the Globalized Business Era
The global supply chain expanded significantly in the last decades of the 20th century, especially in the automobile, food, and textile industries. This growth of the globalized business era brings both challenges and motivation for researchers and practitioners with interests in logistics and supply chain management. Logistics and Supply Chain Management in the Globalized Business Era provides an introduction as well as up-to-date information in the logistics and supply chain management fields. The book focuses on applying theory to practices and provides both quantitative and qualitative methods for decision makers; additionally, it details current information regarding digitalization, information technology, and optimization techniques. It is ideal for supply chain managers, executives, operations managers, business owners, suppliers, researchers, postgraduate students, laypersons, researchers, and professionals.
The Mathematics of Structure
This book is an excerpt from Warfield's 1976 John Wiley book titled SOCIETAL SYSTEMS: PLANNING, POLICY, AND COMPLEXITY. Several chapters of that book were basically mathematical in nature, intended to support the social aspects of the text. Unfortunately the title of the text masked its mathematical content. Because of the importance of the mathematics of structuring, Warfield decided to republish that part of his book. He has retained the original paging in this 2003 version.

The Coherence Factor
Cogito, ergo sum. ("I think, therefore I am.") When Descartes quipped this, he erroneously split thinking from feeling. He assumed thoughts emerge from a substance other than feeling. This is a historic tragedy, and it is unnecessary. It brings us to a risky end-game. When we attempt to meld preconceived thought with evoked feelings, we come to the craft of "spin doctors." Instead, there is a natural path for connecting thinking and feeling. It involves emotional reflection at the time that understandings are created. This book draws attention to a form of dialogue which is called design dialogue. Design dialogue constructs new meaning from the bottom up. Individuals construct new meanings t...
