Summary
This chapter provides a primer to Systems Thinking. The core concept of natural science systems theory is that the outcome of an activity of participating entities is, by way of interactions, larger than the sum of its parts. The key components in this theoretical approach are nodes, links, and emergence. In this chapter, the building blocks of a Systems Thinking approach are articulated.
