Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Since its inception more than thirty years ago, the benefits of using Soft Systems Methodology for problem solving has gained worldwide recognition. Yet, despite recognising the importance of SSM, students and practitioners still experience considerable difficulty with the intellectual process involved. Based on a lifetime experience as an academic and consultant, Brian Wilson provides guidance on how to develop a range of conceptual models across a variety of business problems. Building on his earlier work in Systems: Concepts, Methodologies and Applications he takes a practical approach to the topic based on the premise that all organisations are unique. He develops concepts to articulate ways of thinking about complexity. These are an alternative to mathematically-based concepts, and they offer rigorous, and defensible ways of answering the question 'What do we take the organisation to be?' A model of the most appropriate and relevant concept for your own organisation can then be successfully developed and applied. Of relevance to organisations of any type, or any size, this book shows how model building within SSM can be used to cope with real-life problems. It will be an invaluable resource for students and practitioners in both the public and private sectors. . The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. A 'LOST' BEACH BOYS CLASSIC One ruled notebook leaf, 180 x 214mm; two printed and manuscript leaves of sheet music, 319 x 242mm; one folded printed sheet of music (lead sheet), 330 x 240mm. The original handwritten lyrics - together with the manuscript sheet music and printed lead sheet - for the Beach Boys' song 'Soulful Old Man Sunshine', recorded in 1969 but only released in 1998. The song was a collaboration between Beach Boys' lead songwriter Brian Wilson and Rick Henn of the band The Sunrays. The circumstances of the composition are recounted in Christian Matijas-Mecca's book 'The Words and Music of Brian Wilson': "At the end of August [1969], Brian worked on 'Soulful Old Man Sunshine,' a jazzy, upbeat tune that first appeared in 1998 on Endless Harmony. [.] They composed this song at Brian's home and Henn led a session at Sunset Sound at the end of August. In the liner notes to Endless Harmony, Henn claims Brian did not come into the studio which left him to arrange the song and manage the session, though vocals were recorded at Brian's home studio in November." The present documents bear this out: they are all in the hand of Rick Henn, though the credit on both sets of sheet music reads 'Words & Music Rick Henn / Brian Wilson'. We can surmise that the manuscripts originate from the Henn/Wilson session at Wilson's home at 10452 Bellagio Road in Los Angeles. The lyric sheet has a number of corrections, not all of which ended up in the recorded version, and also directions for single/group vocals (the lead vocalist for the song was Carl Wilson). The manuscript sheet music is identical to the printed version, even down to the copyright statement, and therefore is likely to be the fair copy for the printer. 'Soulful Old Man Sunshine' lies squarely in the grand tradition of Beach Boys' songwriting, with Wilson's characteristic chord progression in fifths. The song was apparently suppressed owing to a vocal slip, but became the first track on Endless Harmony, issued to accompany the biopic of the same name. It is now hailed as one of the great 'lost' songs of the 1960s. Very good condition: lyric sheet with a ragged edge where it has been removed from a notebook; printed sheet music age-toned.
