Abstract
Austrian biologist Ludwig Von Bertalanffy (1901–1972) is known as one of the founders of general system theory that was published in 1968. According to Bertalanffy, a system is defined as a set of elements standing in interrelation among themselves and within an environment (Bertalanffy, 1968). Peter Michael Senge (born 1947) is an American system scientist and the founder of the Society for Organizational Learning. Senge is known as the author of the book The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization, which focuses on group problem solving using the system-thinking methods in order to convert companies into learning organizations.
