There are different theories that relate to the global economy. One of these theories is the world systems theory, which was developed by Wallerstein. This theory acts as a model that describes all the changes that resulted in shaping the world into what it is today. Its focus is specifically on the changes that took place in Western Europe a few centuries ago during a period of significant economic development. The world systems theory saw the division of the world into some three parts, which are

Sociotechnical systems theory was created by researchers in human relations in the early 1950s. They found the two were important and needed for the effectiveness of businesses could reach higher potential when they focused on having the internal workplace and the external of the business (the customers) all uniform. Sociotechnical systems theory is when organizations are effective. This is broken down into two parts: social and technical. The employees make sure they follow orders correctly are

strongest can survive. The business or organisation in this case represents a system which is open to and interacts with its environments. Open systems have four specific characteristic which make appropriate for these business .The first is the interchange between the system and its environment, secondly an open system is made up of a range of variables and a complex network of interrelationships. Thirdly for control the open system use anticipatory management which involves the anticipation of errors and

accidental difficulties are introduced by computer scientists. When developing ultra-large-scale systems, developers will come across challenges that have only scratched the surface of in previous projects. When it comes to essential difficulties, the software will be more complex than any system that has ever been created. A ULS system will essentially be tying together many little systems into one large system, however just synchronizing all of them will require an extremely complex

Introduction Organizational systems, such as companies and value chains, have been studied in order to enhance the performance of entirety. System theory may help with the analysis of the real problems as well as finding the solutions. Based on the Applied System Theory “A system consist of element s discernible within the total reality (universe), defined by the aims of the investigator. All these elements have at least one relationship with another elements within the system and may have relationships
