Abstract
The essence of this paper recommends some major shifts in emphasis and approach, away from the scientific base of traditional systems science (as exemplified by traditional measurement and control methods) toward interpretive, subjective methods, when context relates to social situations. Radical change in place of regulation will also be discussed. This paper is equally a review paper, in that an historical overview is necessarily taken, and the development of systems science is traced therefrom. Particular attention is paid to systems in organisation theory and so-called problem solving'.
