“系统”是所构成整体中的一组相互作用或相互关联实体的集合。系统由其时空边界所描述，即被外界环境所包围、影响的时空范围；系统也由其结构和目的所描述，表达为其功能。系统是系统理论的研究对象。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】第一句“‘系统’是所构成整体中的一组相互作用或相互关联实体的集合。”应该为“‘系统’是一组构成一个有机整体的实体的集合，这些实体之间相互作用或相互关联。”

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“ 即被外界环境所包围、影响的时空范围”改为“被其所处环境包围并影响”。

A system is a group of interacting or interrelated entities that form a unified whole. A system is described by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning. Systems are the subjects of study of systems theory.

词源学 Etymology

“System”从最先的希腊语"σύστημα"及由此演变的拉丁语的"systēma"而来：由几个部分组成的整体，系统，字面为"构 composition"。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】此句逻辑混乱，末句乱码了。尝试修改为：“术语 ‘System’源于拉丁语"systēma"，而这一拉丁词汇源于希腊语"σύστημα"。"systēma"意思为：由若干部分或成员组成的整体概念，系统，字面意义为"建构"。

The term "system" comes from the Latin word systēma, in turn from Greek systēma: "whole concept made of several parts or members, system", literary "composition".

“系统”即“关注对象”，系统化需要极高的视觉梯度。而哲学上，笛卡尔之前没有“系统”，柏拉图没有“系统”，亚里士多德的也没有“系统”。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“关注对象”改为“一种观测对象”

"System" means "something to look at". You must have a very high visual gradient to have systematization. But in philosophy, prior to Descartes, there was no "system". Plato had no "system". Aristotle had no "system". < ref >

• 19世纪，研究热力学 thermodynamics的法国物理学家尼古拉·莱昂纳尔·萨迪·卡诺 Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot开创了自然科学 natural science中的“系统”概念。1824年，他研究了蒸汽机 steam engine的“工作介质 working substance”（通常是水蒸气）的系统在加热时做功的系统功能。该工作介质可与锅炉、冷水库（冷水流）、活塞（推动以做功的工作部件）。1850年，德国物理学家鲁道夫 · 克劳修斯把外部环境也纳入对这个图景的概括，并以“工作体”来指称该系统。

In the 19th century the French physicist Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, who studied thermodynamics, pioneered the development of the concept of a "system" in the natural sciences. In 1824 he studied the system which he called the working substance (typically a body of water vapor) in steam engines, in regards to the system's ability to do work when heat is applied to it. The working substance could be put in contact with either a boiler, a cold reservoir (a stream of cold water), or a piston (on which the working body could do work by pushing on it). In 1850, the German physicist Rudolf Clausius generalized this picture to include the concept of the surroundings and began to use the term "working body" when referring to the system.

The biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy became one of the pioneers of the general systems theory. In 1945 he introduced models, principles, and laws that apply to generalized systems or their subclasses, irrespective of their particular kind, the nature of their component elements, and the relation or 'forces' between them.

概念 Concepts

环境和边界 Environment and boundaries

系统论 Systems theory认为世界是一个由相互连接的部分组成的复杂系统。辨识系统的方法是定义系统的边界 boundary，即选择哪些实体位于系统内部而哪些实体在外部——环境 environment环境的一部分。可以简化系统的表述（模型 models）以利理解、预测或影响其未来活动。这些模型描出了系统的结构 structure和活动 behavior。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“选择哪些实体位于系统内部而哪些实体在外部——环境 environment环境的一部分。”破折号后面改为：“即作为环境的一部分”。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“这些模型描出了系统的结构 structure和活动 behavior。”中“描出”改为“描绘”。

Systems theory views the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. One scopes a system by defining its boundary; this means choosing which entities are inside the system and which are outside—part of the environment. One can make simplified representations (models) of the system in order to understand it and to predict or impact its future behavior. These models may define the structure and behavior of the system.

自然系统和人造系统 Natural and human-made systems

系统可分为自然系统和人造（人为设计）系统。自然系统可能没有明确的目的，但从观察者角度出发，自然系统的活动是所目的的。人造系统的目的各不相同，通过在系统内或与系统一起实施的动作来实现。系统的各部分是关联的，且“有意作为一个连贯实体来运作”——否则作为两个或更多的不同系统。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“自然系统可能没有明确的目的，但从观察者角度出发，自然系统的活动是所目的的。”一句改为“自然系统的存在肯没有明确目的，但是自然系统的活动却可以被观察者当作有所目的去解读。”

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“通过在系统内或与系统一起实施的动作来实现”中动作改为“活动”。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“系统的各部分是关联的，且“有意作为一个连贯实体来运作”——否则作为两个或更多的不同系统。”一句，首先”关联“前要加“相互”；另外，逗号后面的句子改为“它们必须‘被设计成一个连贯的整体去工作’，否则它们将变成两个以上完全不同的系统的部分。”

开放系统有输入和输出流，即物质、能量或信息与其周遭环境的交流。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“物质、能量或信息与其周遭环境的交流。”错译了，原句的意思是“与其周围环境物质、能量或者信息的交换”

There are natural and human-made (designed) systems. Natural systems may not have an apparent objective but their behavior can be interpreted as purposeful by an observer. Human-made systems are made with variable purposes that are achieved by some action performed by or with the system. The parts of a system must be related; they must be "designed to work as a coherent entity" — otherwise they would be two or more distinct systems.

Open systems have input and output flows, representing exchanges of matter, energy or information with their surroundings.

Open systems have input and output flows, representing exchanges of matter, energy or information with their surroundings.

理论框架 Theoretical framework

大多数系统是与周围环境交换物质和能量的开放系统 open systems，例如汽车、咖啡机或地球。而封闭系统 closed system与其环境交换能量而非物质; 例如一台计算机或生物圈2号 Biosphere 2项目。一个孤立系统 isolated system与它的环境既不交换物质也不交换能量。这种系统的一个理论例子是宇宙 Universe。

Most systems are open systems, exchanging matter and energy with its surroundings; like a car, a coffeemaker, or Earth. A closed system exchanges energy, but not matter, with its environment; like a computer or the project Biosphere 2. An isolated system exchanges neither matter nor energy with its environment. A theoretical example of such system is the Universe.

A theoretical example of such system is the Universe.

过程和转变过程 Process and transformation process

开放系统也可视为一个有界的转换过程，即输入转输出过程或过程集合的黑盒 black box。输入被消耗，并产生输出。这里说的输入和输出是非常广义的。例如一艘客轮的输出是乘客从出发地向目的地的移动。

An open system can also be viewed as a bounded transformation process, that is, a black box that is a process or collection of processes that transforms inputs into outputs. Inputs are consumed; outputs are produced. The concept of input and output here is very broad. For example, an output of a passenger ship is the movement of people from departure to destination.

Inputs are consumed; outputs are produced. The concept of input and output here is very broad. For example, an output of a passenger ship is the movement of people from departure to destination.

系统模型 System model

系统有多种视图 multiple views。人造系统会具有如下等视图: 概念 concept、分析 analysis、设计 design、实现 implementation、部署、结构、行为、输入数据和输出数据。系统模型 system model是描述和反映所有这些视图模式的前提。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】"系统模型 system model是描述和反映所有这些视图模式的前提。"改为“所有这些试图需要系统模型 system model来描述和反映。”

A system comprises multiple views. Man-made systems may have such views as concept, analysis, design, implementation, deployment, structure, behavior, input data, and output data views. A system model is required to describe and represent all these views.

系统架构 Systems architecture

系统架构 systems architecture是用一个单一的集成模型来描述多种视图 multiple views，是一种系统模型 system model。

 --Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】语句不通，此句全部重新组织，改为：“:系统架构 systems architecture是一种系统模型 system model，它用一个单一的集成模型来描述多种视图 multiple views。”

A systems architecture, using one single integrated model for the description of multiple views, is a kind of system model.

子系统 Subsystem

"子系统"是一组元素，其本身也是一个系统，同时也是一个更大系统的组成部分。IBM大型机“作业输入子系统”系列(JES1、JES2、JES3及其前身HASP/ASP)就是例子。它们共有的主要“元素”是处理输入、调度、假脱机和输出的组件; 它们还能够与本地和远程操作员交互。

A subsystem is a set of elements, which is a system itself, and a component of a larger system. The IBM Mainframe Job Entry Subsystem family (JES1, JES2, JES3, and their HASP/ASP predecessors) are examples. The main elements they have in common are the components that handle input, scheduling, spooling and output; they also have the ability to interact with local and remote operators.

子系统表述为一个系统对象，该系统对象包含定义了系统所控制操作环境的特征的信息。数据测试用于验证各个子系统配置数据的准确性（例如MA长度、静态速度曲线、…），有一个单个子系统关联了这些子系统，以测试其特定应用（SA）。

 --Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“ 有一个单个子系统关联了这些子系统，以测试其特定应用（SA）。”改为“它们和单个子系统关联，以测试其具体应用。”

A subsystem description is a system object that contains information defining the characteristics of an operating environment controlled by the system. The Data tests are performed to verify the correctness of the individual subsystem configuration data (e.g. MA Length, Static Speed Profile, …) and they are related to a single subsystem in order to test its Specific Application (SA).

分析 Analysis

有许多类型的系统，可以进行定量 quantitatively和定性 qualitatively分析。例如，在城市系统动力学 systems dynamics分析中，A.W.斯泰斯 A .W. Steiss定义了5个交叉系统，包括物质系统和行为系统。对于受系统理论影响的社会学模型，Kenneth D. Bailey用概念化、具象化和抽象化的系统来定义系统，包括孤立系统、封闭系统和开放系统。沃尔特 F.巴克利 Walter F. Buckley在社会学中将系统定义为机械的、有机的和过程的模型。贝拉 H.巴纳锡 Bela H. Banathy提醒道，了解系统的类型对于任何系统的调研都至关重要，并定义了“自然”和“设计” ，例如人工, 系统。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“对于受系统理论影响的社会学模型，Kenneth D. Bailey用概念化、具象化和抽象化的系统来定义系统，包括孤立系统、封闭系统和开放系统。”改为“说起受系统理论影响的社会学模型，Kenneth D. Bailey从概念化、具象化和抽象化系统的角度来定义系统，不论是孤立系统、封闭系统，还是开放系统。”

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“沃尔特 F.巴克利 Walter F. Buckley在社会学中将系统定义为机械的、有机的和过程的模型。”改为“沃尔特 F.巴克利 Walter F. Buckley从机械、有机和过程模型的角度定义社会学中的系统。“

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“了解系统的类型对于任何系统的调研都至关重要，并定义了“自然”和“设计” ，例如人工, 系统。”改为“对于任何系统内的调研，了解其系统类型至关重要，同时要明确“自然”和“人为”，换言之人工，系统。”

There are many kinds of systems that can be analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. For example, in an analysis of urban systems dynamics, A .W. Steiss defined five intersecting systems, including the physical subsystem and behavioral system. For sociological models influenced by systems theory, Kenneth D. Bailey defined systems in terms of conceptual, concrete, and abstract systems, either isolated, closed, or open. Walter F. Buckley defined systems in sociology in terms of mechanical, organic, and process models. Bela H. Banathy cautioned that for any inquiry into a system understanding its kind is crucial, and defined "natural" and "designed", i. e. artificial, systems.

应避免混淆这些抽象定义。例如，自然系统包括亚原子系统、生命系统 living systems、恒星系统 solar system、星系 galaxies和宇宙，而人造系统包括人造物理结构、自然系统和人造系统的混合体、以及概念知识。组织和功能中的人的因素在其相关的抽象系统和表现形式中得以强调。系统在选择其目的、目标、方法、工具等方面的自由程度及其选择分布或集中的自由程度，是区分不同系统的一个主要考虑因素。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】"应避免混淆这些抽象定义。"修正为“避免混淆这些抽象定义非常重要”。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“例如，自然系统包括亚原子系统、生命系统 living systems、恒星系统 solar system、星系 galaxies和宇宙”，句子中的“恒星系统”应为“太阳系”。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“组织和功能中的人的因素在其相关的抽象系统和表现形式中得以强调。”改为“组织和功能的人为因素通过其相关的抽象系统和表示形式得以强调。”

It is important not to confuse these abstract definitions. For example, natural systems include subatomic systems, living systems, the solar system, galaxies, and the Universe, while artificial systems include man-made physical structures, hybrids of natural and artificial systems, and conceptual knowledge. The human elements of organization and functions are emphasized with their relevant abstract systems and representations. A cardinal consideration in making distinctions among systems is to determine how much freedom the system has to select its purpose, goals, methods, tools, etc. and how free it is to select itself as distributed or concentrated.模板:Clarify

人工系统有个先天的重大缺陷: 它们必须以一个或多个基本假设为前提，而这些基本假设又是额外知识的基础。模板:Clarify这些基本假设本无害，但是它们必须被定义为真，而如果它们实际是假，那么该系统在结构上并不如假设那般完备。例如在几何学 geometry中，这种缺陷在定理 theorem的基础假设和定理外推的证明中是非常明显的。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“这些基本假设本无害”改为“这些基本假设本身并没有什么坏处。”

Artificial systems inherently have a major defect: they must be premised on one or more fundamental assumptions upon which additional knowledge is built.模板:Clarify These fundamental assumptions are not inherently deleterious, but they must by definition be assumed as true, and if they are actually false then the system is not as structurally integral as is assumed. For example, in geometry this is very evident in the postulation of theorems and extrapolation of proofs from them.

乔治 J.克莱尔 George J. Klir认为无论如何都不存在“完备和完美的分类” ，并将系统定义为抽象的、真实的 real和概念的 conceptual物理系统 physical systems、有界的和无界的系统 unbounded system、离散的到连续的系统、脉冲的到混合的系统 hybrid system等。系统与其环境之间的交互可分为相对封闭系统和开放系统 open systems。绝对封闭的系统似乎不太可能存在，即使存在，也不大可能为人所知。在“硬”系统和“软”系统之间也有重要的区别 ，“硬”系统在自然界是技术性的，可以适应诸如系统工程 systems engineering、运筹学和定量系统分析等方法，“软”系统涉及人和组织，通常与彼得·契克兰 Peter Checkland和 布莱恩·威尔逊 Brian Wilson通过软体系统方法论（SSM）开发的概念相关，包括诸如行动研究 action research和强调参与式设计等方法。在硬系统可能被认为更“科学”的领域，两者的区别往往是暧昧的。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“乔治 J.克莱尔 George J. Klir认为无论如何都不存在“完备和完美的分类”修正为“乔治 J.克莱尔 George J. Klir认为出于任何目的都不存在‘完备且完美的分类’”。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】“在硬系统可能被认为更“科学”的领域，两者的区别往往是暧昧的。”中“暧昧”改为“模糊”。

George J. Klir maintained that no "classification is complete and perfect for all purposes", and defined systems as abstract, real, and conceptual physical systems, bounded and unbounded systems, discrete to continuous, pulse to hybrid systems, etc. The interactions between systems and their environments are categorized as relatively closed and open systems. It seems most unlikely that an absolutely closed system can exist or, if it did, that it could be known by man. Important distinctions have also been made between hard systems – technical in nature and amenable to methods such as systems engineering, operations research, and quantitative systems analysis – and soft systems that involve people and organisations, commonly associated with concepts developed by Peter Checkland and Brian Wilson through Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) involving methods such as action research and emphasis of participatory designs. Where hard systems might be identified as more "scientific", the distinction between them is often elusive.

文化系统 Cultural system

文化系统可定义为不同文化要素之间的相互作用。虽然文化系统与社会系统大不相同，有时两者会合在一起称为”社会文化系统”。社会科学的一个主要关注点是秩序问题。

A cultural system may be defined as the interaction of different elements of culture. While a cultural system is quite different from a social system, sometimes both together are referred to as a "sociocultural system". A major concern of the social sciences is the problem of order.

经济系统 Economic system

Main article: Economic system

经济制度是一种机制（社会制度 social institution），它处理特定社会中货品 goods和服务 services的生产 production、分配 distribution和消费 consumption。经济体系由人 people、制度 institutions及其与资源的关系组成，如财产 property制度 convention。它解决经济 economics问题，例如资源的稀缺和分配。

An economic system is a mechanism (social institution) which deals with the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services in a particular society. The economic system is composed of people, institutions and their relationships to resources, such as the convention of property. It addresses the problems of economics, like the allocation and scarcity of resources.

几位国际关系学者，尤其是新现实主义学派 neorealist school的学者，从系统的角度描述和分析了互动国家的国际范围。然而，这种国际分析的系统模式受到其他国际关系思想流派的挑战，其中最显著的是建构主义学派 constructivist school，该学派认为，过分关注系统和结构可能忽视个人在社会互动中的作用。基于系统的国际关系模式也是自由制度主义 liberal institutionalist思想学派对国际领域见解的基底，该学派更加强调由规则和交互治理，特别是经济治理所产生的系统。

--Stefanie（讨论） 【审校】"互动国家的国际范围"改为“国家交流的国际范围”。

The international sphere of interacting states is described and analysed in systems terms by several international relations scholars, most notably in the neorealist school. This systems mode of international analysis has however been challenged by other schools of international relations thought, most notably the constructivist school, which argues that an over-large focus on systems and structures can obscure the role of individual agency in social interactions. Systems-based models of international relations also underlies the vision of the international sphere held by the liberal institutionalist school of thought, which places more emphasis on systems generated by rules and interaction governance, particularly economic governance.

This systems mode of international analysis has however been challenged by other schools of international relations thought, most notably the constructivist school, which argues that an over-large focus on systems and structures can obscure the role of individual agency in social interactions.

系统概念的应用 Application of the system concept

系统建模是工程学和社会科学的基本原理。该系统是所关注实体的呈现。所以对系统上下文的包含或排除取决于建模者的意图。

Systems modeling is generally a basic principle in engineering and in social sciences. The system is the representation of the entities under concern. Hence inclusion to or exclusion from system context is dependent on the intention of the modeler.

任何模型都无法包括所关注现实系统的所有特征，也不必包括属于所关注现实系统的所有实体。

No model of a system will include all features of the real system of concern, and no model of a system must include all entities belonging to a real system of concern.

No model of a system will include all features of the real system of concern, and no model of a system must include all entities belonging to a real system of concern.

信息和电脑科学方面 In information and computer science

在计算机科学 computer science和信息科学 information science中，“系统”是以组件 components为结构，以可观察的进程间通信 inter-process communication为活动的硬件系统、软件系统 software system或组合。再举一些例子: 计算系统（如罗马数字 Roman numerals）、各种系统归档文件、分类目录、各种图书馆系统（例如杜威十进制图书分类法 Dewey Decimal Classification）。这仍然符合组件组合连接的定义(以利信息流)。

In computer science and information science, system is a hardware system, software system, or combination, which has components as its structure and observable inter-process communications as its behavior. Again, an example will illustrate: There are systems of counting, as with Roman numerals, and various systems for filing papers, or catalogues, and various library systems, of which the Dewey Decimal Classification is an example. This still fits with the definition of components which are connected together (in this case to facilitate the flow of information).

系统也可以指一个框架，即平台 platform，是设计用来允许软件程序运行的软件或硬件。组件或系统中的缺陷可能导致组件本身或整个系统无法执行其设计功能，例如错误的陈述 statement或数据定义 data definition。

System can also refer to a framework, aka platform, be it software or hardware, designed to allow software programs to run. A flaw in a component or system can cause the component itself or an entire system to fail to perform its required function, e.g., an incorrect statement or data definition

工程和物理方面 In engineering and physics

在工程学 engineering和物理学 physics中，物理系统描述正在被研究的宇宙的一部分(例如热力学系统 thermodynamic system)。工程学也有系统的概念，涉及到复杂项目的所有部分和部分之间的交互。系统工程是工程学的一个分支，研究如何规划、设计、实现、构建和维护这类的系统。预期结果 result是指以规格、特定条件下的部件或系统、或其他渠道所预期的系统活动。

In engineering and physics, a physical system is the portion of the universe that is being studied (of which a thermodynamic system is one major example). Engineering also has the concept of a system referring to all of the parts and interactions between parts of a complex project. Systems engineering is the branch of engineering that studies how this type of system should be planned, designed, implemented, built, and maintained. Expected result is the behavior predicted by the specification, or another source, of the component or system under specified conditions.

社会科学、认知科学及管理研究方面 In social and cognitive sciences and management research

社会科学和认知科学 cognitive science识别人类模型和人类社会中的系统，主要有人类的大脑功能、心理过程，以及规范伦理学系统和社会/文化行为模式。

Social and cognitive sciences recognize systems in human person models and in human societies. They include human brain functions and mental processes as well as normative ethics systems and social/cultural behavioral patterns.

管理科学 management science、运筹学 operations research和组织发展学 organizational development（OD）把人类组织视为子系统或系统集合体等互动组件的系统(概念系统) ，该系统是众多复杂业务流程 business processes(组织行为 organizational behavior)和组织结构的载体。组织发展理论家彼得·圣吉 Peter Senge在他的《第五纪律》一书中提出了组织作为系统的概念。

In management science, operations research and organizational development (OD), human organizations are viewed as systems (conceptual systems) of interacting components such as subsystems or system aggregates, which are carriers of numerous complex business processes (organizational behaviors) and organizational structures. Organizational development theorist Peter Senge developed the notion of organizations as systems in his book The Fifth Discipline.

系统思考 Systems thinking是一种思考/推理 reasoning和解决问题的方式，以识别问题的系统属性为始，可以是一种领导能力。有些人能在“放眼全球的同时，在当下采取行动”。他们会考虑其决定对大系统其他部分的潜在后果。这也是心理学上系统辅导的基础。

Systems thinking is a style of thinking/reasoning and problem solving. It starts from the recognition of system properties in a given problem. It can be a leadership competency. Some people can think globally while acting locally. Such people consider the potential consequences of their decisions on other parts of larger systems. This is also a basis of systemic coaching in psychology.

组织理论家 Organizational theorists，如玛格丽特·惠特利 Margaret Wheatley，也描述了在新的隐喻背景下组织系统的工作，如量子物理学 quantum physics，chaos theory，系统的自组织 self-organization of systems。

Organizational theorists such as Margaret Wheatley have also described the workings of organizational systems in new metaphoric contexts, such as quantum physics, chaos theory, and the self-organization of systems.

纯粹逻辑系统 Pure logical systems

还有所谓逻辑系统。最显著的例子是莱布尼兹 Leibniz和艾萨克・牛顿 Isaac Newton同时开发的微积分。另一个例子是乔治・布尔 George Boole的布尔运算符。其他的例子特别与哲学、生物学或认知科学有关。马斯洛的需求层次理论Maslow's hierarchy of needs 以纯粹逻辑将心理学应用于生物学。许多心理学家，包括卡尔・荣格 Carl Jung和西格蒙德·弗洛伊德 Sigmund Freud，已经开发出一套系统，可以逻辑地组织心理学定义域，比如人格、动机、智力和欲望。这些定义域通常由一般范畴组成，这些范畴遵循一个推论 corollary，例如定理 theorem。逻辑应用于分类学 taxonomy、本体论 ontology、评估 assessment和层次 hierarchies等类别。

There is also such a thing as a logical system. The most obvious example is the calculus developed simultaneously by Leibniz and Isaac Newton. Another example is George Boole's Boolean operators. Other examples have related specifically to philosophy, biology, or cognitive science. Maslow's hierarchy of needs applies psychology to biology by using pure logic. Numerous psychologists, including Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud have developed systems which logically organize psychological domains, such as personalities, motivations, or intellect and desire. Often these domains consist of general categories following a corollary such as a theorem. Logic has been applied to categories such as taxonomy, ontology, assessment, and hierarchies.

应用于战略思维 Applied to strategic thinking

1988年，军事战略家约翰·A·沃登三世 John A. Warden III在他的书《空军战役》中介绍了五环系统 Five Ring System模型，认为任何复杂的系统都可分解为五个同心环。每个环节——领导力、流程、基础设施、人口和行动单位——都可用来在任何需要变革的系统中隔离关键元素。在第一次海湾战争 First Gulf War中，空军计划人员对该模型进行了有效利用。< ref > { cite book | last = Warden | first = John a. III | date = September 1995

In 1988, military strategist, John A. Warden III introduced the Five Ring System model in his book, The Air Campaign, contending that any complex system could be broken down into five concentric rings. Each ring—Leadership, Processes, Infrastructure, Population and Action Units—could be used to isolate key elements of any system that needed change. The model was used effectively by Air Force planners in the First Gulf War. In the late

20世纪90年代末，Warden将他的模型应用于商业战略。 |publisher =United States Air Force}}</ref> In the late 1990s, Warden applied his model to business strategy.
