Forrester, J.W 1994) Peter M. Senge, human society entered the industrial revolution, the deepening of the degree of specialization, intensification of social differentiation, contributed to the fragmentation of the human thinking way. 

An example of this phenomenon is made clear in an exercise called The Beer Game as described in The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge. This is a board game using poker chips signifying inventory, preprinted playing cards indicating the fluctuations in demand at the retailer, and small forms on which the players write their orders to their suppliers. The scenario is that a retailer who sells beer is served by a distributor. The distributor is served by a warehouse, which is served by the manufacturer. Therefore, there are only four elements in this simple supply chain. There is a four-day lead time between each of the elements.

Organizations learn only through individuals who learn."—Peter Senge... 

It follows from this, and from Denting s assertion that most problems lie in the system rather than in individuals, that we should consider the theory of systems. This is a formal discipline that has received considerable attention since the publication of Peter Senge s The Fifth Discipline (1990). 

System complexity arises in two fundamental forms, as identified by Peter Senge [3] namely detail complexity and dynamic complexity. Detail complexity arises from the volume of systems, system elements and defined relationships. This complexity is related to the systems as they are their static existence. Dynamic complexity, on the other hand, is related to the expected and even unexpected behavior of systems during their operation. These two forms of complexity can synonymously be referred to as structural complexity and behavioral complexity. The concept of the structure of a system was introduced in Sec. A4.3, and with that description of interactions as links, a simple expression for the structural complexity is [4]...
