Bücher der Reihe C. West Churchman's Legacy and Related Works

The Systems Approach and Its Enemies (C. West Churchman, 1979) is one of Churchman's most significant works. In this book the editors seeks to follow up on these two themes and reveal how modern authors interpret Churchman's ideas, apply them to their own line of thinking and develop their own brand of Systemics.

The book makes a plea for systemic governance. Policy makers and managers need to work with rather than within theoretical and methodological frameworks. The closest we can get to truth is through compassionate dialogue that explores paradoxes and considers the rights and responsibilities of caretakers.
