Annotation

This book defines the seven fundamental systems involved in any situation: context system, intervention system, realization system, deployed system, collaborating system, sustainment system, and competing system. The fifteen key relationships between these seven systems are described. This "seven samurai" construct provides a framework to facilitate systems thinking about any problematic situation.
