This book demonstrates the theoretical value and practical significance of systems science and
its logic of thinking by presenting a rigorously developed foundation-a tool for intuitive
reasoning which is supported by both theory and empirical evidence as well as practical
applications in business decision making. Following a foundation of general systems theory the
book presents an applied method to intuitively learn system-sciences fundamentals. The third
and final part examines applications of the yoyo model and the theoretical results developed
earlier within the context of problems facing business decision makers by organically combining
methods of traditional science the first dimension of science with those of systems science
the second dimension as argued by George Klir in the 1990s. This text would benefit graduate
students researchers or practitioners in the areas of mathematics systems science or
engineering economics and business decision science.
