Theoretical Investigation into Systems Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Systems analysis has been practiced by expert systems analysts or IT people in the third person perspective or objective one. We question this style of systems analysis and investigate into what it should be and who should practice it in an unpredictable, turbulent environment. The existing systems analysis methods such as UML help systems analysts ignore the differences of individual workers and pay attention solely to roles or functions played by them. However current companies depend more on individual knowledge workers and their experiences. Recently there have appeared a few methods with which business professionals or workers themselves reflect on their own knowledge and experiences, one of them proposing systems analysis in the first person perspective. The development of those methods is primarily based on the practical experiences and needs as consultants. Therefore there is still no theoretical background and support to the development. We made a theoretical investigation into this alternative discourse of systems analysis. Our study consists of an exploration into Stacey’s theory on organizations as a cue for systems analysis in a turbulent environment and two explorations into organization development literature for high performance in a less turbulent environment and the meanings of systems analysis.

Theoretical and experimental investigation into incident radiation on solar conical collector
The geometry of a collector is one of the important factors that can increase the incident radiation on the collector surface. In the present study, the incident radiation for a stationary collector with cone geometry, i.e. a conical collector, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. This type of collector is always stable and does not need a fixture to install. Moreover, it has a...

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Gelation Time of Nanostructured Polymer Gels by Central Composite Approach
Currently available polymers as a component of in-situ gels are unsuitable for treating high-temperature/high-salinity reservoirs due to their chemical and thermal degradation. In this study, a new copolymer-based gel system including high molecular weight nanostructured polymers (NSPs) was developed to address the excessive water production problem in reservoirs under harsh conditions. The sta...
