The whole system is broke and in desperate need of fixing: Notes on the Second Industrial Revolution
by Ian I. Mitroff, Susan Mohrman
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 1, No. 1/2, 1986

Abstract: Today there is virtually no problem, from technological to economic, whose various aspects can be considered in isolation one from another. The world in which we live is a complex highly-interconnected system, yet most people are still trying to solve problems with the mentality and tools appropriate only for a simpler, mechanistic, view of the world. The result is occasional catastrophic failure. The authors describe the challenge to managers of adapting a holistic or systems view.
