sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I love any help you can give me.
Let me tell you!!! I have been reading and reading and could not understand a single thing about systems theory. I mean like honestly why did anyone create this!
This was incredible! So clear and concise, no jargon and very informative. If all of my lecturers were this good at teaching I wouldn't need to come to RU-vid for help! Thank you for this video!!!!
I read for hours on the systems approach in order to equip myself enough to complete an assignment, but have learned more in the ten minutes spent watching this video. THANK YOU!!!!!! Please do not stop. I will keep on coming back for more insight for as long as I study Communications.
Hi, great video, helped a lot, but where did you get your information from ? Tried to look it up in your book and did not see it, can you point me to some articles please ?
I pulled it from a variety of sources like textbooks and journal articles. I didn't cite any particular research because systems theory is in most books on organizational theory. But, years ago, I first started reading about it in Peggy Byers Book: www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/Byers-Organizational-Communication-Theory-and-Behavior/PGM791.html
I have been reading about this in articles, and my text book and it was like reading chinese and I don't read chinese. Thank you, thank you , and thank you for this simplified explanation. I literally cannot thank you enough.
I WISH!! I came to this video 2.5 hours ago, I read a looooooooooooong piece and was literally having heart palpitations, thinking I am dumb because Charles Perrow was making no sense to me.. T H A N K Y O U for this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Theory of Organizations teacher basically handed her class over to you because of quarantine cause she doesn't want to give online classes so thanks, lol
I love your videos, the relationships are very well explained. may I ask you to do a video on network-based theory or the process theory of organizations? furthermore, I am very interested in your thoughts about the interplay of Luhmans system-theory and postmodern approaches such as hybrid or network organizations. that would be very interesting - looking forward to a new video :) greetings from Austria
Obviously, system is a whole that consists of purposes that are independent open system that interacts with the external environment there is a input and a output. close system that does not interact with external environment which does not give any come outputs and there is no input our relationship.
Systems theory is a way of thinking about and viewing how organizations work. It is useful to describe and organizations. It is a way of looking at organizations. It's not one of those theories that organizations typically implement like the way they'd build an assembly line. However, I read an old article in Fast Company about the John Deere company that might be useful. The article talks about "complexity theory" but it's a related theory to systems. Chaos Theory/Complexity theory was build on top of systems theory. It just sounds more edgy. The article is a good illustration of what a company looks like when it moves away from an assembly line toward more systems thinking: www.fastcompany.com/35717/john-deere-runs-chaos
Ludwig von Bertalanffy created Gerneral Systems Theory (GST) in 1950s basing on his decades of researcher in biology since 1920s. James Grier Miller created Living Systems Theory in 1970s. Gernal Systems Theory is aross all disciplines related to systems, no matter living or non-living systems, while, Living Systems Theory applied GST only for all living systems to formalize the concept of life. So the 'Background' slide stating both Bertalanffy and Miller established the foundation of GST, is not correct.
Check the following references if anyone is interested in knowing more about GST, the foundation of modern systems theories: An Outline of General System Theory (Von Bertalanffy, 1950) General system theory, a new approach to unity of science (Von Bertalanffy et al, 1951) General Systems Theory: The Skeleton of Science (Boulding, 1956) The History and Status of General Systems Theory (Von Bertalanffy, 1972) General systems theory: Foundations, developments, applications (revised edition) (Von Bertalanffy, 1972) Ludwig von Bertalanffy and his enduring relevance: Celebrating 50 years General System Theory (Kristof et al, 2019) Enjoy! :-)
I'm wondering if you could apply this as a theoretical frame for viewing the internet, to some degree I see it as a complex social organization/system? it has feedback loops, permeable boundaries, holism etc.
Thank you for the informative video. I'm taking a Management course remotely and just had to read through several presentations which try-and fail-to explain the notions clearly. Your video has helped me to gain a lolid degree of comprehension in the items described.
Your channel is just brilliant and most underrated 😔 . I have been it's part for about 1 year almost and it seems like watching all my doubts getting cleared here. Thanks buddy for helping
Well, organizations are open systems by definition but a closed system would be one that didn't allow the input and output exchange to happen. An isolated system that was self contained would be closed. When we're dealing with human organizations and workplaces, however, we're not dealing with closed system. For a more detailed definition, I'd just google it if I were you. I won't be doing a video on closed systems soon.
An open system is like a plant bc it interacts with the environment and other plants around it. A closed system is like a rock because it’s just there and doesn’t interact with anything because it’s not alive
Amazing stuff! Coming from very independent perspectives, it would appear that as I attempted to unify classical mechanics and quantum mechanics, cognizant that Prof. Einstein had a problem appreciating quantum theory; believing that it was incomplete and had variables missing,it appears as I unmasked reality in the universe, I crafted a model in perfect harmony with the systems theory. By taking matter and radiation as inputs and immobile and mobile non-matter as outputs with the processes being interactions of inputs or outputs under a process in equilibrium, I have correctly account for Einstein's concerns about the incompleteness of the quantum theory. Thus, I could consider my new matter/non-matter equation published in october 2022 in the international IRJIRET journal as a true summary of the reality of how the universe ticks because my new equation is: 1) caters for both aspects of entanglement i.e it gives the immobile and mobile moeties that are on entanglement. and not just capturing electrons (mobiles) and leaving out the nucleus (immobile a) from which the electrons separate to become entangled with the same. This provides additional info Einstein and his EPR team considered lacking, yet Nobel Prize 2022 appears to have glossed over this concern. 2) Independently developed, my new equation that unifies classical and quantum mechanics and motivated by chemistry is electrifyingly similar with another version by Fotini Markopoulpu from a physics perspective, alluding at a consistency of thought across geographical regions and scientific disciplines. 3) My equation also has equally electrifying parallels with that providing for the cosmological constant. Overall, this developments merit constitution of a broad based panel of scientific experts to interrogate this scientific development with a view to making relevant and timely pronouncements, accordingly that may be needed to bring harmony and unanimity on matters that have bothered science for close to a Century now. 3,
I’ve been watching this channel along with my scheduled reading in Comm 471 Org Comm class. This video enhanced my level of comprehension of the material.
Normativity is perspective dependent in "nature".that's why perspectivity is modeled nomatively. Organisation structures and thus systems are typically positive. Organisation goals, vision, mission and tergets are typically positive because they are objectively and subjectively achievable with in a given space, time and consciousness framework. Organisation dreams, beliefs, thoughts, and wishes fall between normatism and positivism cause some are physically achievable and others are just mythical and illusions cause their achievement can not be traced any where in space or time, but achieved only through consciousness.
Thank you so much for this video, it is so well explained and informative! Could you tell me the difference between Systems Theory and Living Systems Theory? And do you have the original references you used for this video? Thanks!
I greatly appreciate this video you made. The texts I was given to learn about systems theory were beyond confusing. This was so much more clear in comparison. Thank you!
It's not as simple as your statement makes it sound. If you Google, "What do we mean by theory," you'll see that words like "explain" and "explanatory" come up more frequently than "prediction." Some theories are ONLY intended to be primarily explanatory theories and that's a legitimate and valuable function of a theory. Nevertheless, systems theory, while mainly an explanatory theory, has been used for decades to make predictions, diagnose problems and solve them, and test various hypotheses. It is not a *_primarily_* predictive theory when compared to others but it still has lots of explanatory value.
Hi! love how you explained the theory well and easy. I would love to ask for a reference for the major concepts. and is systems theory of organization the same as the systems of organization?
Your channel is perfect for the business students and humans who willing to learn management knowledge and theories. We watch you continue teacher. The content is very good quality 👍 Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷
Do you have any videos or information on the difference of open vs. closed systems strategy? This video greatly enhances my understanding of open structures and their benefits but what about closed? Thanks!
I don't have any videos on closed systems. In fact, some people argue that they don't exist in reality and it's only a theory. From my view, I find it most helpful to think about systems in terms of degrees of openness. Some have limited and constrained boundaries and others have comparatively open boundaries. You may have Googled it already but I would start there if I were you and see what people say about the debate.
I have a test in like 2 hours and i have not studied anything, i am doing a fast forward crash course from your videos thank you thank you for making these
