2. INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEM THINKING
 Systems thinking utilizes habits, tools and
concepts to develop an understanding of
the interdependent structures of dynamic
systems. When individuals have a better
understanding of systems, they are better
able to identify the leverage points that
lead to desired outcomes.
 Systems thinking is a management discipline
that concerns an understanding of a system
by examining the linkages and interactions
between the components that comprise
the entirety of that defined system.

6. SYSTEMS APPROACH
In Bangalore Parthenon plants caused Asthma for many.Tourists complained
about it and stopped coming to Banglore. Govt. asked scientists for a solution.
They said a type of beetle loves eating Parthenon and so may be brought in
plenty and let it live. As expected beetles ate all the plants in a months time.
After that it wanted food for living and so went to near by fields and ate Sun
Flower !! Farmers were affected. Caused major embarrassment to the Govt.
