COMPLEXITY
• Living, open systems with irreducible wholes • Wholes are more than sum of parts • High interdependence parts that can not be
treated in isolation • Properties of the system can not be inferred
from those of component sub-systems
Properties and Assumptions
What Models?
Problem Type
Wicked / ill Structured Methods of Inquiry
• Reasoning: Informal reasoning and judgment • Evidence: Intuitive perceived facts • Generalizations: Quasi laws • Models: Heuristic-based • Explanations: Perceived causal relationships • Predictions: Intuitive based on considerations
