This thesis proposes a framework for incorporating organizational aspects in combat models. It begins by explaining Dr. James G. Miller's Living Systems Theory (LST) as a possible framework. Included in this discussion is a review of the basic nature and potential of LST. A review of the Army's involvement with LST and its present status is discussed. Recommendations are made for supplemental research which may help to develop this framework for the Army. A review explains present combat model...

Max Planck Institute for European Legal History Research Paper Series No. 2020-05 Diversity as Paradox: Legal History and the Blind Spots of Law Manuel Bastias Saavedra Abstract: In order to avoid cultural and essentialist fallacies, this contribution argues that diversity can only be understood in paradoxical terms. Diversity has to be constructed and is therefore subject to temporal, regional and functional variations, which makes it an extremely fluid category. One manner in which diversity...

Corporate social responsibility plays a very vital role in the internal and external environment of business. The essence of this work is to align CSR and the systems theory approach in today’s business atmosphere. System theory approach enhances the understanding, practice and process of CSR. Every organisation operates within an environment, environment here refers to the host community to the organisation. There is an expectation of both parties for there to be a smooth sail, it is...

This paper describes how an earlier study's novel, meta-paradigmatic approach was used to answer two research questions of international significance: (1) How are small island developing states (SIDS) adapting to climate change at the national level? and (2) What are the factors that affect adaptation at the national level in SIDS? As acknowledged in the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, SIDS are distinct from other developing...

This report presents and motivates the theoretical frame of reference and choice of research strategies and methods in a project on research planning. It contains (1) a theoretical model and (2) empirical data concerning the initial phase of the research process. A model, based on principles of general systems theory and a psychology of information, is described and the design of an interview study and its realization is reported. Problems of data processing and data analysis are discussed. A...

This thesis seeks to examine the concept of community fragility in emergency management from a systems perspective. Two questions are studied. First, can community fragility be qualitatively measured? Second, does this concept hold value for the emergency management field? Using literature that addresses fragility in four areas of complex systems—ecosystems, social systems, socio-technical systems, and complex adaptive systems—we create a theoretical framework focused on the emergency...

This thesis makes available to DON TQL educators and practitioners data gathered about differences between DON operating force and shore establishment organizations in the conduct of TQL. A survey was conducted to assess what TQL tools and processes were used by the two organization types, and statistical testing was used to determine how the organizations differed in the use of TQL tools and processes. The results of the statistical testing indicate that although there were some significant...

Environmental and systems scientist Donella Meadows makes the case that the global push for unending economic growth is the cause, not the solution, for many of the world's problems. She then explores "leverage points," or ways to "intervene in systems" that will address global problemsâ poverty and hunger, environmental destruction, resource depletion, urban deterioration, and unemployment.

Paradoxes in the evolution of technological systems. Who designed the global telephone and communication network? The whole is the sum of the parts plus their interactions. Is a simple data register really simple? Automata exploring unknown worlds. Optimum or expediency? Random interactions and information exchange. Daydreaming and cynical automata. “I thought he thought I thought he. .. .” Heterogeneity in a group of automata is a key to success. Are we haunted by the ghost of Erehwon...
