A Study on the Dynamically Aligned Principles of the Corporate Policy Design in Systems Thinking

Shen, Mei-chen 22 July 2007 (has links)
Growth and sustainability seem to be the goals for all corporations. However, in the reality, only small number of corporations can sustain and keep growing; most corporations belong to one-shoot success or just stay stagnantly. Therefore, this study tried to figure out what is the main factor to make some corporations grow and the others decay. This study is based on an assumption that the main factor of corporation success depends on the alignment of corporate policies. If managers neglect the interactions of policies, it is possible to cause crises within the corporation and even make the corporation fall into decay. Only well-aligned policies can make corporations grow prosperously. Hence, policy design plays an important role to achieve the alignment. While going through the literatures on this subject, the domestic literatures are quit few. Therefore, this study has not only reviewed the relevant literatures, but also taken a domestic corporation as a studying case. This study used ¡§Systems Thinking¡¨ as a research tool to testify to the importance of dynamically aligned principles of the corporate policy design, and found the following conclusions: 1.Good intentions of the founder will lead to good corporation design, and the well-designed structure raises the intended behavior of employees. 2.Corporations have to design the policy base on long-term perspectives, and also develop the endurance to tolerate time delay. 3.Corporations should view the dynamically alignment of all policies as a whole and look for global optimization. 4.Well-designed policies will bring out the best operation performance.

The architecture and acuity of critical systems thinking

Wooliston, Gary January 1992 (has links)
This thesis looks at two critical urges in Critical Systems Thinking that both complement and critique each other. Firstly, there is an urge to construct in a critical manner. Secondly, there is an urge to be critical about such constructions. They complement and critique each other in the manner in which the second urge requires the first urge in order to understand what it means when one begins to create by construction, and also in which the first urge requires the second in order to understand the privileged position that construction is given in epistemology. These two urges give two stages. Construction relates to four clear conditions that develop from an Architectural study. This study offers two definitions of Architecture : structural longevity and relational modification. Consequently, a Structure and Process are established (first two stages) which together content an Architecture of Critical Systems Thinking (third stage). This Architecture is then applied to Systems Thinking through a study of five Systems Thinkers, this application offers an Architecture as commensurability (fourth stage). The Architecture is thereby offered as author. De-construction relates to four clear conditions that develop from the Architecture of Critical Systems Thinking. Each condition questions the Architectural authority to construct. The Process (reversed to complement and critique) questions the Structural consistency of the Architecture (first). A Structure of Acuity develops that maintains meaning where the Architecture neutralised meaning (second). A Contentless Acuity follows (third), thereby allowing the contentlessness of paradigm (in)commensurability to be discussed as an application of the Acuity of Critical Systems Thinking. The Acuity is thereby offered as reader. To balance these two urges is to read with authority.

A framework for the explicit use of specific systems thinking methodologies in data-driven decision support system development

Goede, Roelien 13 May 2005 (has links)
Data-driven decision support systems, such as data warehouses, are extremely costly to develop. Forty one per cent of data warehouse development practitioners have experienced project failures. These projects were either completed after exceeding budget and time limits, or not at all. Some influential data warehousing authors advocate user involvement as a solution, while others focus on technical factors to improve data warehouse success. This study proposes a framework for data warehousing success based on systems thinking methodology. Systems thinking implies a holistic approach to problem solving. A system is a set of interrelated elements. A systems approach represents a broad view, taking all aspects into account and concentrating on interactions between different parts of the problem. This study investigates the practices of data warehousing professionals from a systems thinking point of view, before proposing a framework for the explicit use of specific systems thinking methodologies in data warehouse development. Interpretive case study research is used to investigate practices of data warehousing professionals in three different organisations. Pattern matching is used to analyse collected data. This is done by mapping practices to different systems thinking perspectives. However, the theory component of the thesis is not a description of current data warehousing practices from a systems thinking point of view, as in typical interpretive research. The theory component relates more to critical research in that it is meant to change data warehousing practices towards specific systems thinking methodologies. The proposed framework incorporates three sources of information. These are a literature study on systems thinking philosophy, methodology and practice; a literature study on data warehousing and data warehousing success factors; and the results of case studies on current practices of data warehousing professionals analysed from a systems thinking perspective. The framework gives a methodological foundation for a holistic approach to data warehousing with maximum user involvement. It views a data warehouse as a system with typical systems characteristics, such as specified objectives relating to the organisation’s objectives, an environment, available resources, specified components and effective management. / Thesis (PhD (Information Technology))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Informatics / unrestricted

Using Systems Thinking to Discuss the SMEs¡¦ Business Model¡XTake A Tutorial School for Example

Chen, Chun-fu 11 September 2007 (has links)
This study is to discuss the small and medium enterprises¡¦ business model through systems thinking. In the study, we try to find the casual loop diagrams of all art tutorial schools¡¦ business models first. Then we use systems thinking to analyze how the art tutorial school leaders¡¦ business concepts help him to run the art tutorial school so well. And we get two points. Firstly, through casual loop diagrams¡¦ analysis, we found that a constantly growing art tutorial school must prepare enough both high quality and quantity teaching resources. Do not extend before you prepare your teaching capacity, otherwise you¡¦ll lose customers¡¦ trust. Secondly, in daily business running, the leader should tell his employees what his business concepts are and how to fulfill them to overcome the business¡¦s limitation. In this case, the leader thinks one must have these three business concepts: (1) The more you give, the more you¡¦ll get; (2) People should consider others before themselves; (3) With virtue, people can create great artistic creations. Through good business concepts and an integral dynamic cooperation, the business would grow up in a constant way.
