systems (noun, sys-tems, \ ˈsɪstɪms \) approach (noun, ap-proach, \ əˈproʊtʃ \)
Definition: is a management thinking approach that views all internal and external elements and components that exist in an enterprise as being interrelated, codependent, and interactive in their nature. Such a method allows implementing structural and strategic changes in a company with fewer disruptions, as the management has a clear vision of the connection between various systems and procedures. Employing a systems approach consists of three stages: a) identifying the current efficiency of all system elements, b) determining the effects of changing a single element within a system, and c) using that information to improve the system.
