The Viable System Model in the analysis of the project management
Master’s thesis200853 pages, 14 figures, 1 table and 1 appendixExaminers: Professor Pertti SelvintoinenProfessor Tuomo K¨assiKeywords: cybernetics, systems theory, the VSM, Viable System Model, project man-agement, complex systems analysisThe paper is made to understand modern (especially cybernetic) methods of complexsystems analysis and management, to explain scientific basis of the Viable SystemModel, to compare theoretical model with developed project management system inCompany.The manuscript purposes are achieved by studying of scientific papers from scien-tific journals collection such as Elsevier (
http://www.sciencedirect.com
) or Emer-ald (
http://www.emeraldinsight.com
). Scientific basis of the VSM is gotten fromStafford Beer explanation and from personal investigation of neurophysiology andcybernetics history. The comparison is made by "objective" (studying of official com-pany documentation ) and "subjective" (personal interviewing) methods.i
