Systems theory is often referred as system science. It isinterdisciplinary study of systems in common terms. Main goalof such studies is to discover new patterns and elucidatingprinciples. Such principles are meant to be derived from andapplied to almost any kind of system in all fields of research.These principles can be applied on such fields up to nestinglevels. System theory or system science is often consideredspecialization of system thinking. The principles derived from itare simply gold output of this science of system or systemstheory and systems engineering. It uses the emphasis ongenerality. Such emphasis is useful across a wide system range.When compared to particular models of individual fields, thecommon emphasis can be applied over wider range of systems.Central topic of this theory is systems. The systems hold aself-correcting architecture. Feedback is used in order toperform such self-correction over the systems and by thesystems themselves (quite confusing, isn't it?). Suchself-regulating systems can be found in nature. Here, term"nature" also includes human body's physiological systems,global ecosystems, local ecosystems, climate and human learningprocesses as well. Including human or any individual livingbeing is approved or allowed by many internationalorganizations such as UN (United Nations).Systems theory is originated from General System Theory(GST) developed by Bertalanffy. Systems theory can be used inmany other fields. These fields or terms include action theoryand social theory. Moreover, the action theory was developedby Talcott Parsons and the social systems theory wasdeveloped by Niklas Luhmann.Multiple diverse fields or areas provided base knowledge indevelopment of contemporary ideas of systems theory. Followingare some of these many fields and studies along with theirresearchers:Exemplification by the work of Ludwig von Bertalanffy. Hewas a researcher in the field of biology.Linguist Bela H. BanathyTalcott Parsons in sociologyHoward T. Odum in ecological systemsEugene Odum, Fritjof Capra, Peter Senge in the field oforganizational theory and managementDebora Hammond, Alfonso Montuori and Richard A.Swanson in the field of Human Resource Development andInterdisciplinary theories.In the terms of transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary andmultiperspectival domain, concept of systems theory bringstogether many principles from ontology, scientific philosophy,physics, computer science, biology, engineering, sociology,geography, political science, psychotherapy and economics.Thus, it is said that systems theory acts as a link forinterdisciplinary dialogs that transfer between autonomous areasof study. These areas also cover systems science itself.
