Discussion 01.2 Systems Thinking Contains Unread Posts

Q How would you apply systems thinking to the issue/problem you have chosen in Week 01? After completing the assigned Week 01 learning activities, research and select an issue faced by airports and/or airport managers that is of interest to you. This issue will serve as the problem you will solve by the end of the course and your topic must be approved by the instructor. The topic should be sufficiently complex to allow you to write a 10-page, 2500+ word business proposal, and create a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation. Think about the systems impacting the issue. Be sure to also ask yourself if this would be defined as a significant problem. Post your comments on the discussion board.

The phrase "systems thinking" can imply different for different people. It is essential to know that. System thinking is much more than a set of techniques and strategies – this is also a theory that underlies it. The issue I will be dealing with is a certain bomb scare at the airport. But systems thinking is also an attention to the circular existence of the universe in which we live; a knowledge of the institutional role in the development of the situations we are faced with; an appreciation of the effective legislation of systems we know little about; a comprehension of the impact that our acts have on us, which we do not know.
