Abstract

Cybernetics covers many traditional disciplines, including technology, philosophy, biology, mathematics, and social sciences. So, studying and understanding cybernetics systems and their management are essential concepts in all aspects of life. But, as far as we know, a perfect and profound discussion about the topic of cybernetic systems is rare. In order to address the emerging challenges of the information society, this paper will cover recent developments in the development of cybernetic systems with particular reference to management applications. Selected articles were analyzed in 7 main groups: historical evolution of cybernetics systems, system dynamics, dialogic design science, complexity theory, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, and management optimization). In order to advance research and development, the study showed the multi- and trans-disciplinary nature of cybernetics, systems, and the management sciences. According to the findings of our analysis, most papers were released in 2007. We also found that the IEEE Journals had the largest number of published articles. It suggests that the researchers’ attention to research in this field has diminished over time. Also, the results showed that cybernetics might render a conceptual-philosophical aid and a functional instrument in control and managerial planning.
