Research Abstract

We have mainly concerned with a viable system model developed by S. Beer in the field of managerial cybernetics. Our research results are devided into two parts, one is in some theoretical contributions and the other in some primary applications for existing organizations.
With intensive mark on Beer's "The Heart of Enterprise", our group studied h is theory to have common understanding and managed to summarize the essencial part of the contributions as next brief sentences. A viable system model recognize five broad functions which must be carried out to maintain internal stability a nd adapt to a changing enviroment. These functions are labeled system 1 through system 5. System I consists of various operated elements System 2 performs regul ating functions against the conflict generated among operational activities. System 3 has the highest and now management functions. System 4 deals with the long run sighted or the external and future management functions. Finally system 5 w orks as the decision making of the whole organization. Moreover, we refered to the fundamental principles such as variety to variety, homeostacis principle and self-organization.
As for application, our result which was presented at the IFIP international meeting is referred, then the case of sight-seeing system in Africa and national trade training organization in New Zealand are discussed. This time we focused on BOYA comany and some comments are stated. However, the construction of practical computer system for the viable system is remained as our future problems.
