Abstract
Traditional classical control theory has been well established in the design techniques developed in hardware applications such as machine tool drivers, aircraft autoland systems [1] etc. Equivalent modern control theory which yields similar results has been applied to manufacturing systems [2]. In both cases, we can therefore apply the principles learnt in “hard” systems to “soft” and organisational systems [3].
