2nd Edition, as published by Charles François 2004 Presented by the Bertalanffy Center for the Study of Systems Science Vienna for public access.

About

The International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics was first edited and published by the system scientist Charles François in 1997. The online version that is provided here was based on the 2nd edition in 2004. It was uploaded and gifted to the center by ASC president Michael Lissack in 2019; the BCSSS purchased the rights for the re-publication of this volume in 200?. In 2018, the original editor expressed his wish to pass on the stewardship over the maintenance and further development of the encyclopedia to the Bertalanffy Center. In the future, the BCSSS seeks to further develop the encyclopedia by open collaboration within the systems sciences. Until the center has found and been able to implement an adequate technical solution for this, the static website is made accessible for the benefit of public scholarship and education.

STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS 1)4)

A technique, decribed by M.C. JACKSON, that "asks each group to identify the key individuals or groups on whom the success of failure of their preferred strategy would depend. This involves asking questions such as : Who is affected by the strategy? Who has an interest in it? Who can affect its adoption, execution or implementation? And who cares about it?. For the stakeholders identified, each group then lists what assumptions it is making about each of them in believing that its preferred strategy will succeed. Each group should list all the assumptions derived from asking this question of all the stakeholders. These are the assumptions upon which the success of the group preferred strategy or solution depends".

A second technique is "assumption rating": "For each other listed assumptions, each group asks itself:

- How important is the assumption in terms of its influence on the success or failure of the strategy.

- How certain are we that the assumption is justified" (1992, p.143).

→ "Assumptional analysis"; "Nominal Group Technique".
