Introducción a la Teoría General de Sistemas

Introducción a la teoría general de sistemas introduces General Systems Theory, tracing it back to Ludwig von Bertalanffy's work on open systems, and explains how the theory came to be applied in the social sciences, particularly in organization theory. Oscar Johansen Bertoglio presents a social organization as a dynamic system, a whole that imports, transforms and exports energy, matter and information much as a living organism does, and argues that this way of looking at organizations helps explain the behaviour of their parts and the causes of certain conflicts and trends within them.
