Russell Lincoln Ackoff (1919 2009) was an American organizational theorist, consultant, and Anheuser-Busch Professor Emeritus of Management Science at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Ackoff was a pioneer in the field of operations research, systems thinking and management science. In 'On Purposeful Systems', Ackoff and Emery focused their attention on the question how systems thinking relates to human behavior. According to Ackoff, the beginning of the end of the Machine Age and the beginning of the Systems Age could be dated to the 1940s, a decade when philosophers, mathematicians and biologists, building on developments in the interwar period, defined a new intellectual framework. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xii, 288 pages.
