Abstract: Abstract Social systems theory is inextricably linked to Niklas Luhman (1927–1998) who is without a doubt one of the most influential social theorists of the last century. Over the years, Luhmann published on a variety of societal topics such as art, ecology, economy, education, law, love, mass media, politics, religion, and science. Organizations were of major interest to Luhmann. He never lost sight of organizations as a particular instance of social systems.
