Systems Thinking: The Gandhian Way
Journal of Human Values 15 (1):77-90 (2009)
Abstract
The article discusses the parallels in systems thinking and Gandhian thinking. Aristotle's principle that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts is interpreted from multiple perspectives. The whole and the part and their relationships are discussed to understand various wholes in the organization. The Gandhian orientation of whole and his leadership style in the light of various systems thinkers are evaluated. The article concentrates on the application of systems thinking to the Indian Freedom Movement to excavate the Gandhian foresight while leading the people in India. The article endeavours to project Mahatma Gandhi as a modern systems thinker in India.My notes
