Abstract
This paper addresses decision making in the management of complex service systems,
highlighting the contribution of the viable systems approach as an interpretative and
governance methodology based on systems thinking.
In the last few decades, business management has undergone significant changes due to
rapid developments in markets. New competitive strategies and technologies have
stimulated global discussion about business models and tools (Ghoshal, 2005). The role of
relationships has become increasingly relevant in businesses, and researchers as well as
industries are shifting their focus to a service-oriented approach, moving from a paradigm
of product to one of service (IfM-IBM Cambridge SSME Report, 2008).
