About the seminar topic
In this seminar, Tima Bansal will argue that the analytical methods used by most scholars and managers to tackle business problems is increasingly less fit for purpose. She will propose systems thinking as a complementary approach to analytical thinking, depending on the type of problem being tackled.
She will outline the fundamental assumptions that underlie systems thinking and outline their implications to both management research and practice.
