This paper presents a Buddhist systems methodology (BSM) designed for problem prevention and problem solving in Taiwanese
Buddhist organisations. Three sets of twelve questions based on Buddhist concepts are offered to (i) support explorations
of boundaries and values in problematic situations; (ii) guide the choice of methods for intervention; and (iii) support the
evaluation of recommendations for change. The paper argues that the BSM has advantages in Taiwanese contexts compared with
Western systems approaches. The latter can appear threatening to organizational harmony and can therefore be regarded negatively.
In contrast, the BSM uses Buddhist concepts that are closely associated with the practice of harmonious living. Thus, it reframes
systems thinking as the exercise of Buddhist discipline applied to organizational life, and is likely to be viewed as a co-operative
and culturally valued endeavour.

Unfolding a Theory of Systemic Intervention 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
This paper interrogates four perspectives (structuralist community psychology, deconstruction, interpretive systemology, and critical systems thinking) to inform the unfolding of a theory of systemic intervention. A vision of epistemology is provided which clarifies the relationships among knowledge, power, will and intervention, and a normative framework for systemic intervention is then presented. Finally, the theory unfolded in this paper is deconstructed to reveal a second theory, yet to be explored, of systemic life projects. This provides an exciting agenda for future research. 相似文献

This paper is about the Wuli, Shili, Renli (WSR) systems methodology. An important concept within this, Renli, has been developed from Confucian philosophy to clarify to Chinese researchers the necessity of dealing with human relations in systems practice. At present, the only formal means of operationalizing Renli that people are exploring in China is to import from the West methods for organizing debate. However, the concept of Renli suggests that more is needed than methods alone. In particular, facilitation skills are required. It is argued that the development of facilitation skills can be enhanced if researchers can gain both theoretical and practical knowledge of group dynamics, and engage in activities of self-reflection to look at, and alter, their own roles in these dynamics and the wider sociopolitical system. There are therefore three aspects to Renli: the use of systems methods for organizing debate, the acquisition of facilitation skills, and self-reflection geared toward the development of facilitation skills and enhanced critical awareness of the politics of intervention. 相似文献

The worldwide leaf economics spectrum 总被引:48,自引:0,他引:48

Bringing together leaf trait data spanning 2,548 species and 175 sites we describe, for the first time at global scale, a universal spectrum of leaf economics consisting of key chemical, structural and physiological properties. The spectrum runs from quick to slow return on investments of nutrients and dry mass in leaves, and operates largely independently of growth form, plant functional type or biome. Categories along the spectrum would, in general, describe leaf economic variation at the global scale better than plant functional types, because functional types overlap substantially in their leaf traits. Overall, modulation of leaf traits and trait relationships by climate is surprisingly modest, although some striking and significant patterns can be seen. Reliable quantification of the leaf economics spectrum and its interaction with climate will prove valuable for modelling nutrient fluxes and vegetation boundaries under changing land-use and climate. 相似文献

This paper looks at what we mean by being critical about systems. In particular, it seeks to expand our understanding of the process of making boundary judgments so as to explore the relationship these judgments have with values and ethics. 相似文献
