8.4.1 Implications of Sociological System Theory on Systems Engineering and Product Development

Systems engineering can be regarded as a part of system theory, which seems to be most up to date in sociology trying to understand complex social systems. This contribution gives an overview on the development and appearances of system theory, compares systems engineering and the modern sociological system theory and shows how to improve the design and development of technical systems by the use of those sociological insights. This regard covers a new understanding of complexity, of systems themselves, of communication being any coordination of activities, as well as respective media. The considerations finally lead to a dynamic organisation as well as to measures how to approach complex social systems.
