Chapter 3 in Managing Complexity in Social Systems, 2019, pp 23-30 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Why do all humans in good health more or less have the same body temperature? Why don’t steam engines run out of control? Why do bacteria in a Petri dish stop growing? Why are organizations stable? How do social systems meet goals? The answers to those questions go back to the eighteenth century.
