Systems theory and thinking as a fundamental theory in human resource development--a myth or reality?
Systems theory is a good lens through which to see the full range of communication needs.
In the first of five chapters, Baghai positions rights-based judicial review in terms of social
systems theory and constructs the analytical framework upon which the analysis is based.
I think the authors have succeeded in making DST more accessible to researchers and students by putting together what might become the main scripture of the dynamic
systems theory in second language development.
(22) The literature on
systems theory now includes work in earth system theory, world system theory, dynamic system theory, ecologically oriented system theory, Luhmann's sociological system theory.
CST is derived from both
systems theory and critical social theory.
Wilson's recent novel, Anthill, provides a relevant example of the literary application of some of the principles of
systems theory. This is a story of a young man growing up in the woods and swamps of his native south Alabama.
(4) Schenk-Hoppe discusses the role of dynamical
systems theory in economics, insisting on the potential impact and usefulness of the theory of random dynamical systems for economic modeling and economic analysis.
The work of Mesarovic and Takahara was also the basis for aiming at the development of a general physical
systems theory. Such a unified theory within the realm of physics might also serve to inform GST with a 'general algorithm for recovering topological structure from unstructured data' (Bowden 1998).
Thus the author takes up once again the issue of equivalence, which has otherwise long been regarded in translation studies as no longer particularly productive, from a different angle discussing it at length in relation to an approach informed by
systems theory. In the process it becomes apparent that the primary orientation of the work is a meta-theoretical one, for a running theme throughout the work is the concern not only with the characteristics of translations but also with the basic nature of translation, and with the possible subject positions of translators associated with, or first disclosed by, different conceptions of this basic nature.
