Why Systems?
SYSTEMS HAVE never really had a good press. They seem to suggestthat there is more order and reason in the world than any of us is readyto admit and able to account for. The idea of systems in itself seems tofavour those in the world who seek ways to control and methods to monitorit. Many people think that hidden links must exist between the notion ofsystem on the one hand and the notion of organization on the other, and notjust any organization, but a peculiarly bureaucratic and Tayloristic one. Thereason for this is that systems are supposed to organize things in a way thatis alien to these things and that they are moreover able to achieve thatorganization by an awkward, both Hegelian and Darwinian combination ofreason and natural selection.
