    About Milan Zeleny


    Human Systems Management is an important work that integrates knowledge, management and systems into a unified world of thinking and action in business, decision-making and economics. It presents a modern synthesis of the fields of knowledge management, systems science and human organization. A biological rather than mechanistic perspective pervades the text. New and original ideas and approaches are presented with the simplicity and clarity typical of the well-known author.

    “Only an accomplished author like Dr Zeleny would dare reconcile business with art that is an art which recognizes the momentous changes which the organization has suffered in modern times … Professor Zeleny must be congratulated for his effort which extends common efforts to make the subjects of his text more meaningful and understandable.”
    John P van Gigch
    Professor Emeritus of Management and Systems
    California State University
     
    “Milan Zeleny is now the most cited Czech economist. Zeleny's long awaited book, 'HSM', is a vital leading indicator for 21st century management action, just as his work over 40 years ago still remains an inspiration to researchers in multi-criteria decision making.”
    Associate Professor Alan E Singer
    University of Canterbury
     
    “Professor Zeleny's emphasis on the importance of human coordination is highly illuminative, especially when it comes to the re-integration of knowledge, experiences and morality into wisdom, implying cultural enrichment and comprehensive human development, both of which are essential for sustainable development.”
    Professor Kensei Hiwaki
    Tokyo International University
     
    “It is well written and structured, with a minimum of mathematics, thus making it appealing to a broad audience. It provides numerous examples and anecdotes throughout … Overall, the book is easy to read, gives a good overview of the topic treated and encourages the reader to think outside the box.”
