Abstract

As an acknowledged subject to be taught and researched, “Systems Science” is rather new to Denmark. Prior to 1985 it had received only limited recognition in university circles and amongst leaders of social systems. In that year however, three events took place at the Copenhagen Business School which radically changed the situation: a professorship in systems science was established, the Institute of Computer & Systems Sciences was established, and a new educational program in which systems science plays a significant role was established. Originally it was intended that systems science would represent an extension of traditional operations research methodology and techniques. The actual developments can better be described as a transcendence of analytical approaches to decision-making by a new collective rationality which attempts to integrate the qualitative and the quantitative aspects of planning, as well as its analytical and political aspects.
