Unlike traditional theories, which saw the human organization as a closed system, without taking into account the environment, systems theory, is based on living systems, whether individuals or organizations, are viewed as "open systems " that maintain a continuous exchange of matter / energy / information with the environment. The open system is a set of interacting parts forming a whole sinérxico, geared for specific purposes and in a permanent relationship of interdependence with the external environment. This constant interaction with the environment is dual, ie influénciao and is influenced.
So an open system can grow, change, adapt to the environment and to reproduce under certain environmental conditions (an example of the latter was the new headquarters of SC).
constexto this, the organization is seen as a system of decision making, both individually and collectively. A whole complex and organized, and a set or combination of things, parties or individuals linked by some form of interaction or interdependence.
attempting the landing so far said about the concept of systems with ESF, ESF can say is:
- A number of factors: number of people (volunteers, partners, contractors) set groups and venues, set of activities and projects.
- dynamically linked, something that distinguishes us and the multiple relationships that have, within the groups, some with other groups, with other venues. Using both meetings, as other means of alternative sources like blogs, lists, e-mail, facebook, twitter, etc.
- Forming an activity or activities (from sensisibilización, training, international cooperation)
- To achieve one goal: our mission, build a more just and solidary world through technology for human development
- Operating on data / energy / matter : handling data on inequality, on development, on sectoral water, energy, rural desenvolvmento on education, so we put our energy nelo and involves other staff in our mission (universities, other associations, etc.). We use different materials, tangible (exhibitions, lectures, etc.) and intangible, to our will.
- To provide information / energy / matter: generate content, train people, both informally and more formally participate in networks, etc.
Perhaps the concept of systems is not technology itself, but We can consider that it is the result.
