Using a relevant theory as framework, explain the relationship between functional infrastructure and quality academic production in university of Ibadan. Cited in Begley 1999, Ryan stated that “a system is a set of objects or elements in interaction to achieve a specific goal”. The General Systems Theory perspectives view all system being made up of common interdependent elements that are bounded together by a relationship of a common, unified goal. The Wikipedia Encyclopedia defines system as a “set of interacting or interdependent components forming an integrated whole or a set of elements (often called components) and relationships which are different from relationships of the set or its elements to other elements or sets” The GST possesses 8 different common elements (found in all GSTs) usually inevitable in every system. They are: the input – this refers to the energy or raw materials diverted to the system’s progress and transformed to use by the system. Examples are individual efforts, money, time, information, etc The output – this is the product of every process the input/raw materials have undergone. Examples are policies, statement, documents, laws, money, clothing, and so many more. The process – these are the different advancing stages the materials have undergone to give the much desired output for use. This can include construction processes, meetings, planning, discussions, etc. Controls are those activities used to evaluate or assess the input, its processes and the outcome in order to make alterations for advancements, inspections, and so on. The feedback are those information about some aspect of data or energy processing that can be used to evaluate and monitor the system, to promote improvements. Information provided by feedback may include: “how many errors did we make? How well are our results doing when in use? Why were the
