Abstract

By means of an actual business case, this chapter shows how the personality typology of the eminent Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung gives rise to a unique form of systems analysis. That is, the Jungian personality typology may have originated in the desire to understand individual personality differences, but it is not confined to the study of individuals alone. For example, organizations and even systems have a “personality” in that they display distinct preferences for different forms and types of information and ways of making decisions based on what they consider to be information. The chapter argues that something is a problem if and only if it has important components in each of the Jungian personality quadrants or types.
