“…For example, several studies focused on the general systems thinking paradigm [5,[24][25][26][27][28][29]. Other scholars provided a comprehensive review on different aspects of systems thinking in different fields such as the healthcare sector [30][31][32][33][34][35], sustainability [36][37][38][39][40], smart cities [41], human resource management [42,43], education [44][45][46][47][48][49][50], general practice [51], individual differences and personality [52], lean [53], digital skills [54], gender studies [55], virtual reality [56] and systems engineering/system of systems [6,57,58]. Other studies have attempted to link the concept of systems thinking to cognitive intelligence by using different terminologies such as mental maps, meta-learning, structural thinking, cognitive belief and mindset, which are all embodied in the concept of cognition [59][60][61][62][63].…”

Systems thinking (ST) is an interdisciplinary domain that offers different ways to better understand the behavior and structure of a complex system. Over the past decades, several publications can be identified in academic literature, focusing on different aspects of systems thinking. However, two critical questions are not properly addressed in the extant body of ST literature: (i) How to conduct the content analysis exclusively to derive the prominent statistics (i.e., influential journals, authors, affiliated organizations and countries) pertaining to the domain of ST? (ii) How to get better insights regarding the current and emerging trends that may evolve over time based on the existing body of ST literature? To address these gaps, the aim of this research study is to provide a comprehensive insight into the domain of systems thinking through bibliometric and network analysis. Beginning with over 6000 accumulated publications, the analysis narrowed down to 626 prominent articles with proven influence published over the past three decades. Leveraging rigorous bibliometric tools analysis, this research unveils the influential authors, leading journals and top contributing organizations and countries germane to the domain of systems thinking. In addition, citation, co-citation and page rank analysis used to rank top influential articles in the area of systems thinking. Finally, with the aid of the network analysis, key clusters in the existing literature are identified based on the research areas of systems thinking. The findings of this research will serve as a bluebook for practitioners and scholars to conduct future research within systems thinking context.

“…The history of SE is e.g. outlined by Hossain et al (2020) and is shaped by works in the (American) aerospace and defence industry. Due to the different perspectives, there is neither a uniform definition of terms nor a uniform methodology for SE (Estefan 2007).…”

Systems thinking is vital for engineering of nowadays systems characterized by system spanning interactions and an incresing amount of functions. Systems Engineering (SE) represents an interdisciplinary approach, gaining extensive attention to cope with increasing system complexity. Implementation of SE in existing organizations and processes, however, is facing challenges. As a matter of course there is not out of the box concept to be used, in fact definitions and understandings seem to be based on the background and experience of the individual or organization und differ widely. Thus, motivations and expectations of practitioner are manifold and support to adapte and implement SE-methodolgies is needed. Research presented in this contribution picks up the need to provide orientation for individuals, engineering teams and project managers when implementing SE and to address the specific context in that engineering is carried out. Objective is to describe the core idea of SE by a consistent set of principles. This set is used to build up a context specific understanding of SE as a foundation to introduce new methods and procedures in existing method ecosystems.
