The Learning Org Discussion Pages
The home of the Learning-Org list, which has over 1400 members on several continents. Messages are organized by thread, date, and subject. You can participate in the Learning-Org list directly from these pages.
This link will take you to an article which provides a good overview of the history, development, and principles of systems thinking. There are also additional links there to other systems thinking-related issues, such as the different systemic situations which appear frequently across disciplines. These are known as "Archetypes."
This link takes you to a list of the systemic situations which appear frequently across disciplines, called "archetypes," as mentioned in the paragraph above this one.
In addition to information about the MIT System Dynamics Group and its publications, this page has links to the System Dynamics in Education Project, and other resources about system dynamics-based computer models.
Stanford Learning Organization Web (SLOW):
The Stanford Learning Organization Web contains further suggested readings, subscription information for their electronic discussion group on learning organizations, and links to other systems thinking sites.
The Principia Cybernetica Web site includes a section on cybernetics &;systems theory. As the Principia Cybernetica Project uses it, "systems theory" is the result of the investigation into general principles of systems. As such, systems science is closely related to, but not identical with, systems thinking and system dynamics.
