The Indispensable Handbook of Systems-behavior, written specifically for all of us who must daily cope with the Pitfalls, Foibles, and Failures of the Systems that make up our Modern World. This book includes new chapters, new AXIOMS, THEOREMS AND RULES OF THUMB, and many new Horrible Examples, covering the entire field from the PRIMAL SCENARIO to the FAIL-SAFE THEOREM and including the celebrated definition of GARBAGE that is fundamental to any real understanding of SYSTEMANTICS. The author presents insights in the form of succinct rules of thumb, in the spirit of Murphy’s Law and the Peter Principle, along with a collection of witty observations that have grown into mature rules of thumb.
John Gall Knihy
John Gall bol americký autor a pediater známy svojou kritikou teórie systémov. Vo svojich dielach skúmal, ako systémy fungujú, a predovšetkým prečo zlyhávajú, čo viedlo k definovaniu tzv. Gallaovho zákona. Jeho práce sú cenené pre prenikavý pohľad na zložitosť a tendencie systémov a ponúkajú čitateľom nové uhly pohľadu na pochopenie sveta okolo nás. Gallove eseje skúmajú vnútorné vlastnosti systémov a ich nepredvídateľné správanie.
