Summary: Managing Complexity in Decision-Making Process
Comment: This book is a good staring point for decision making process advocating System Thinking rather than modeling a few of its subsystems.

Among the tools discussed with good applications are:

- Double-Q Diagram: Similar to Fishbone diagrams

- Behavior Over Time Diagram

- Causal Loop Diagrams

- System Archetypes

- Graphical Function Diagram

- Structure Behavior Pairs

- Policy Structure Diagram

- Computer Model

- Management Flight Simulator

- Learning Laboratory.

Clearly, depending on the system under study one must have enough experience on selecting one or some combination of the above tools to be effective in systems analysis, design, and control.
