Abstract
Applications of the systems approach in the form of systems technologies have a mixed record in the management of universities and other organizations and have sometimes been identified with the much broader general systems approach. This chapter critically reviews some of the major issues in the challenges to the general systems approach, argues that uses of that approach may not suffer the faults attributed to the systems technologies, and, as an illustration of thekinds of useful systems models that may be developed, presents an incentive systems model and orgues in utility in university settings.
