Description
The subject introduces the concepts of systems to help address management problems. It examines both hard and soft systems thinking approaches to develop an understanding of the interrelationships between various elements of a project and the environment in which they are executed. It equips students with systems diagnosis, systems thinking and business modelling tools to analyse issues arising in projects and design ways to maintain internal stability within a project while increasing its adaptive capability, and to deal with factors affecting the project due to factors beyond its control in its external environment.
