Wright, Robert H. – 1970
The geographic orientation requirement for the Army's lighter aircraft, and for Army aviation as a system, is a system-analysis and system-design problem that appears to have defied solution. The factors considered in this paper indicate that the requirement is not filled by a simple "more sophisticated machine" systems approach. Instead, the man…

Chapter I presents…

Norfleet, Morris – 1968
Increased enrollment and student activism has created a situation within student personnel services that almost defies most management systems. A systems approach can enable student personnel services to evaluate what they are doing to determine if counselors are making a difference in the lives of students. The characteristics of this approach…

Holliday, L. P. – 1969
To examine selected manpower programs in the Los Angeles area, the Rand Corporation devised theoretical and empirical methods of analysis. The four different types of empirical studies which were made were a survey of employers, former youth-project enrollees, interaction between staff and enrollees, and a cost analysis of manpower projects. The…

Application of Simulation to Individualized Self-Paced Training. Final Report. TAEG Report No. 11-2.
Lindahl, William H.; Gardner, James H. – 1974
Computer simulation is recognized as a valuable systems analysis research tool which enables the detailed examination, evaluation, and manipulation, under stated conditions, of a system without direct action on the system. This technique provides management with quantitative data on system performance and capabilities which can be used to compare…

Nwagbaraocha, Joel O. – 1973
This paper presents concepts relevant to, and the benefits to be gained from, using a "systems" model in thinking about academic planning in general and curriculum development in particular. An attempt is made to show how the "systems" approach provides key tools for a diagnosis of academic structure in a college or university.…

Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, Ottawa (Ontario). – 1970
This is a comprehensive study of the expenditures of Canadian universities. The participating institutions filled out questionnaires, but only 23 of the institutions completed the whole project; therefore, many of the conclusions drawn in this report are admittedly of questionable value. Chapter I presents the introduction and background of the…
