System Theory 

PhD Class of – System Theory
Choose any systems related subject matter (concept, case study, etc.) in general systems theory that is of interest to you. Prepare a semester term paper (scholarly endeavor) that provides an in-depth analysis of the concept or organizational situation you have chosen. You are free to chose the subject matter (non-engineering or business subjects are permitted). What I am looking for is your ability to analyze a system using what you have learned in this course and apply your “systems thinking” to the chosen subject.
Note – the work must be an original production for this class by you the student and written in a scholarly manner – scientific paper.
Must have the following:
Select any literature, business, or engineering text OR software project OR other such systems (i.e. engineering disaster) for your analysis
Topic to be approved by instructor (Please send me the topic you want to write in and I will approve it- so I am giving you flexibility of subject to be written here as long it has system theory concepts and I attach to you my syllabus to know more about what has been taught that you can follow)
The report has to be as the following:
Abstract (Executive Review)
Introduction
Summary of the text or project situation
An analysis of the text or project situation from a systems theory perspective, including the analytical method used and any results (if relevant) in your work
Implications of analysis and points learned through your analysis
