[Course Code] MET7002-8 [Name] Applications of Systems Theory [Course Description] 
There is little doubt that the 21st century will bring unheralded change to the business world. A system must exhibit certain principles of interrelationships, such as wholeness or hierarchic order, to ensure the collective behaviors result in an efficient final system product. System thinking integrates the individual, team, and various departments into activities associated with organizations, environment, and strategy. The result is a more accurate representation of the organization and its environment. Situational contingencies and context influence the individuals level of actions within the organization and the organizations context influences the individuals actions. This course, designed for Doctoral students, examines the application of systems theory, which focuses on complexity and interdependence.
