System Concepts are the axioms, assumptions, and premises on which systems can be treated within a systems approach . In this Knowledge Area we will organise these concepts into those which apply to an identified system of interest (soi) and those which apply to the relationships between systems in a wider system context . We have also included a topic on complexity and emergence.
