Abstract

In 1950s, Building the scholar on systems had alarmed human and social sciences' researchers and thinkers through his classification of systems, which was not taken seriously at that time (Building, 1956). In his famous article "General System Theory" he emphasized on the commensurate choice of research tools and subject, pointing out that we can understand phenomena only when appropriate tools for that level are acquired. He believed the research tools have been designed in second and third levels of systems, and humans and organizations which belong to seventh and eights complex levels are investigated by them. Of course, the results of such researches are prone to many errors and deficiencies.
