The route to the intelligent systems engineering enterprise

It is surprising to see so many intelligent people floundering around in the undergrowth and so far from an understanding of what makes an intelligent systems engineering enterprise. They might do better if they stopped trying to look at the humans and detailed aspects, which is reductionist, and look at the enterprise as an entity, operating within an environment, or "scenario," with other enterprises, according to sets of rules laid down by government and precedent. That would be a systems approach to understanding the issues. In order to initiate a move in such a direction, this paper develops the essentials of a new combined form of Business Cycle and Systems Engineering Model, for the design and manufacture of systems.
