Systems thinking in a broad way can be understood as a process in the world is looked as a system of hierarchy which is interconnected in some way or the other. Every problem is connected with this and solutions can be found accordingly. This system of commection is systems thinking. Normally in traditional thinking the problem is isolated and a solution is found only for that particular issue whereas in systems thinking the problem is given a wider view and as a result the problem various solution from different angles. The problem solving is easy as well as promising in this type of thinking.
Systems thinking can he characterised by three different elements such as
1.Emergent properties in this it should be understood that a problem constitutes of various elements and each one should be individually looked into when solving the issues. One particular component should not be isolated during problem.
2.Hierarchial structure proves that everything has a set of hierarchy through which levels can be reached.
3. Control Decision making process is completely supported by hierarchy and systems thinking.
