Systems theory is an interdisciplinary theory about the nature of complex systems in nature, society, and science, and is a framework by which one can investigate and/or describe any group of objects that work together to produce some result.
This could be a single organism, any organization or society, or any electro-mechanical or informational artifact
The systems framework is also fundamental to organizational theory as organizations are complex dynamic goal-oriented processes
In software and computing: CASE Tools
Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach and means for enabling the realization and deployment of successful systems.
It can be viewed as the application of engineering techniques to the engineering of systems, as well as the application of a systems approach to engineering efforts
Systems Engineering considers both the business and the technical needs of all customers, with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user needs
Importance of the System Approach Principle
The success of your business in achieving its objectives depends on your management approach.
The systems approach will ensure quality products that meet user requirements.
This is because the approach systematically integrates all functions into an interrelated team effort, providing a structured framework for the development process that proceeds from concept to production.
This ensures that all the system functions are optimized to achieve maximum compatibility for enhanced productivity
Benefit
The systems approach to management introduces a structured configuration where personnel work as a combined unit.
Feedback provides a good basis of control, leading to higher quality of products. Overall, the approach improves strategic and management decision-making due to the interrelationships between the various subsystems.
