Abstract: We live in an increasingly global economy in which the effects of shrunken economies, broadened communication, and widespread meteorological incidents associated with climate change are leaving virtually no one untouched. As a result, a working knowledge of concepts such as the triple bottom line and sustainability have become mandatory. Systems thinking, foundational for grasping these concepts, is based on transdisciplinary theories, deriving in part from biology, physics, economics, philosophy, computer science, engineering, geography, and other sciences. Specifically it is the study of systems, including all life-forms, climate phenomena, and even in human learning and organizational processes, that regulate themselves through feedback.
