1.1.1: Outline the concept & characteristics of systems
What is a system?
•a collection of well-organised and well-integrated elements with apparent attributes which establish relationships amongst themselves within a defined boundary
•a system necessarily transforms energy for its own functioning

1.1.1: Outline the concept & characteristics of systems
What is a system?
•though we isolate systems to study them by delimiting the boundaries, in reality the boundaries may not be exact or even real.
•one system is always in connection with another system with which it exchanges both matter and energy.

•general systems theory (gst) was pioneered by biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy (1901-1972) to study general principles of system functioning and can be applied to all types of systems in all fields of research
