... emerged as critical for ESN success: responsiveness to ESN employee inquiries, provision of meaningful feedback, recognition and rewards for ESN contributions and demonstration of tangible organizational outcomes resulting from ESN use. These support mechanisms directly influence the reciprocity...

... complexity by means of modeling, simulation and governance. It captures interactions of various system elements and their dynamic aspect by incorporating concepts such as stock, flows, feedback and delays, and thereby provides an insight into the behavior of a system such as financial systems over time[ 6...

... reciprocal integration produces abstractions from the concrete that enable thought. The real problem in this case is a given ontological system or reality. Originality/value The essential elements of the models – variables, equations, simulation and feedback – are studied using a dialectic Hegelian...

...Vladislav Valentinov Purpose The rise of the general systems theory in the twentieth century would not have been possible without the concept of feedback. Of special interest to the present paper is Niklas Luhmann’s reconstruction and critique of Wiener’s cybernetic approach to the feedback...

... Creativity Adaptation Design Behaviour Feedback Recommender systems or recommendation systems (RSs) have been widely used to search and suggest information for specific products or services on the internet. Service experiences perceived by customers are individually unique and include functional...

... from another character (i.e. soliciting a declaration of love) which the actor must then earnestly pursue; all the while receiving feedback from the other character indicating whether or not she is getting closer to, or farther away from, achieving the intention in question. This feedback then impacts...

... and other types of feedback, drawing on insights from Humberto Maturana and George Richardson. Design/methodology/approach – Further work informing this inquiry includes Gregory Bateson on learning levels, Chris Argyris and Donald Schon on double loop learning, Peter Senge on organizational learning...

.../methodology/approach Feedback, hierarchical control and other system and control theoretic features in the Tree of Life (TL) of Kabbalah were identified. These were used to develop a general system theoretic framework of a new type to address human and societal system dynamics, evolution, interaction...

... are presented in one comparable scheme. Second, a complex controller structure illustrates the basic requirements for a brain. Findings Analyzing necessary decisions in Beer's viable systems it is shown how the elementary decisions found in feedback systems can be used as a first approximation for decision...

... The question will be addressed with the help of the case study of the New York Stock Exchange's (NYSE) move towards electronic trading. A system dynamical analysis of underlying forces and feedback will help elucidate the strength of mechanisms that drive or impede change. Findings The stepwise analysis...

... Design of suitable feedback linearization (FL) controllers for trajectory tracking control of wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) is first reviewed. A FL controller whose parameters are tuned using fuzzy computations (fuzzy if‐then rules) is then developed. In the line of the other contributions of the paper...

... for controllability with ε‐accuracy are given. For the non‐linear plants additionally two methods are used – method based on van der Schaft inequality and harmonically linearization. Findings Provides state feedback control systems with sufficiently large gain (called Tytus feedback). Such systems can...

... Brazil Feedback Architecture This paper describes an experiment carried out in the 1980s regarding the application of cybernetics principles to a design process with special regard to house design in Brazil. First, the experiment and its context are described in general terms; then, some of its...

...Knut Aufermann Purpose To provide an insight into the work of sound artists who use feedback to create music based on Heinz von Foerster's “order from noise” principle. Design/methodology/approach Selected examples of current and past working methods are given to demonstrate the research value...

...C. Musès The greatest mistakes and delusions of human history have come about through logically drawing conclusion from an omissive set of premises. Cybernetics, being the science of the study and redirection of feedback, is the science of consequences; its essential task is to recognize and deal...

... the intervention of a feedback in his conceptions about perception and consecutive action. The two paradigmatic views of Wiener and McCulloch may indicate two streams of evolution for cybernetics, leading, on the one side, to general views about perception and action or “epistemo‐praxiology” and, on the other side...

...C. Musès Cybernetics is considered in its fundamental aspect of a unique master science embracing the concepts of the causation and precipitation of consequences, and hence entraining values and history. In this context a deeper approach to feedback and socio‐political realities becomes possible...

... Limited 1998 Cybernetics Feedback Different processes in nature, such as the physical, chemical and biological, etc., are operated in cycles with feed‐back‐feed‐forward mechanism (Bowler, 1992; Char, 1994; 1995; Fairbridge, 1972; Ford and Monroe, 1974; Grolier, 1993). Examples range from...
