The Journal of Systems Research and Behavioural Science
is the official Journal of the IFSR. It publishes original articles on new theories, experi-mental research, and applications relating to all levels of living and non-living systems.
Its scope is comprehensive, dealing with systems approaches to: the redesign of organisational and societal structures; the management of administrative and business processes; problems of change management; the implementation of procedures to increase the quality of work and life; the resolution of clashes of norms and values; social cognitive processes; modelling; the introduction of new scientific results, etc. Manuscripts of a theoretical or empirical nature which have broad interdisciplinary implications not found in a journal devoted to a single discipline are especially welcome.
