摘要:

AbstractBy a systems approach to management is meant the study of a firm in itstotalityso that the men and material resources of the firm can be organized to realize the firm's overall objectives as efficiently as possible. This approach is now becoming essential because of the growth of complexity of firms and the increasing potential of automatic computers.The systems approach to management implies that every manager should be much more precise about decision-making and information flow. For this to be effective, a company should have an overall system of corporate objectives. First a detailed systems study will be necessary to decide on the best objectives and then subsidiary systems must be set up to realize these objectives as efficiently as possible.This paper is directed at senior management and is a simple attempt to emphasize the urgent need to apply the systems approach, both in government and industry.

摘要:

AbstractIt is shown that every operation, to be effective, requires three kinds of input: operators (e.g. instructions, programmes), operands (e.g. materials, data) and operatives (e.g. men, machines). A charting technique is developed in which operations, represented by Os, are linked by three kinds of arrow. Problems of data collection, control and scale are discussed. It is concluded that the production of a chart for a complex business, using the techniques outlined, is a useful exercise which displays the logic of the information flows and facilitates the critical examination of the whole organization. A practical example is given and discussed.
