A handwritten and typewritten outline of a talk in which Warfield discusses his work in System Design. Also includes correspondence regarding the presentation.
The full caption at top of page is "Table 1. Principal Subsystems (Dimensions) and Legacy Organizational Structures." Along with, "Systems Science and Incremental Globalization," this is likely part of an intended manuscript.
An autobiographical booklet, the majority of which consists of two printouts of previously published articles. The two articles are 1) “Systems Profile: 1925 to Now” and “Systems Movement: Autobiographical Retrospectives: Discovering Systems Science.”
A ten page review of Derek K. Hitchens’s book manuscript, which was published under the title Systems Engineering a 21stCentury Systems Methodology (New York: Wiley and Sons, 2007). Review reflected much of Warfield’s attitudes toward the current state of systems engineering.
Unfinished manuscript with handwritten edits. As part of his campaign to reform higher education using the tools of Systems Science, Warfield proposes a series of three papers: the first would directed to the negatives of the current state of higher education, the second would be directed to the positives, and the third would integrate both the positive and negatives as a way of creating a program of action. Printouts of the PowerPoint presentation “Foucault’s Space…
A collection of short papers for George Klir’s International Journal of General Systems. Some of the papers are complete while others are only drafts. See notes field for further details.
PowerPoint slides to accompany a guest lecture in a Systems Design class taught by Dr. Antonio Rios. John Warfield presented the lecture by Picture Tel from Tampa, Florida to the class on the ITESM campus in Chihuahua, Mexico, 29 October 2001. For the video of this lecture see “Diseno y Practica de Sistemas” and for the transcript see “Managing the Unmanageable: Historical Overview, 33 Years of Research Described in 30 Minutes.”
A proposal submitted to the Calvin K. Kazanjian Economics Foundation. Warfield offers to teach a one-week short course on complexity. Proposal includes definition of the word “problematique” and its potential value in the field of economics. Short biographical letter attached.
A short essay likely designed to accompany a picture collection. Includes images of Aristotle and Aberlard, as well as a description of their intellectual contribution.
A manuscript version of chapter 14 of the Handbook of Interactive Management by Warfield & Roxana Cardenas. Warfield frequently used this for workshops and lectures. The chapter compares Japanese management and manufacturing methods with Warfield’s Interactive Management (IM) process and concludes that, despite the recent success of the Japanese management tools, Warfield’s IM process is superior. The chapter is an edited version of the technical report "Development of End-User Access Tools to the Science of…
Comparison of Japanese management and manufacturing methods with Warfield’s Interactive Management (IM) process that concludes that, despite the recent success of the Japanese management tools, Warfield’s IM process is superior. For further detail, see “"Chapter 14: Comparing IM With Methods Widely Used in Japan."
An abstract of a presentation titled “Seven Ways to Portray Complexity” which was presented for the George Washington University Notational Engineering Laboratory Seminar on 28 February 1996.
A set of transparencies created to accompany Warfield talk “Some Magnificent Academic Trusels and Their Social Consequences,” presented at 1992 Annual Meeting of the Association for Integrative Studies, 19-22 November 1992, Pomona, California.
