Abstract

Starting with this chapter, this book turns its attention and focus to applications of the abstract systems theory established in the previous chapters in areas of business decision making by introducing the so-called systemic yoyo model. This model plays the role of intuition and playground for developing appropriate analytic models to attack various issues encountered in the business world. In other words, this yoyo model provides an actual stage for various investigations of business scenarios to take place at the height of holistic thinking so that realistically beneficial conclusions can be derived rigorously.
