Thinking in systems goes back to both reasoning about physical objects and philosophising about the interrelationships between (scientific) disciplines. Over time, the thinking in systems has elevated systems theories from a theoretical framework to a practical methodology for application in a wide variety of disciplines, for example engineering, management and psychology. No matter their origins and applications, system theories have deepened our understanding of the complexity of real-life systems and also contributed to finding solutions for the challenges dealing with systems.
