Template:Ency term and Template:Ency term increase in an individual system or a Template:Ency term.
Template:Ency person stated: “Growth may be viewed as Template:Ency term modifications initiated by some ”foreign“ Template:Ency term permitting the acceptance of (more) Template:Ency term”.
Accordingly:
- “a. Template:Ency term characteristics of systems are the necessary consequences of growth and attendant modifications.
- “b. Because growth modifications are such as to permit the system to be maintained more efficiently, they can be viewed as Template:Ency term.
- “c. Growth is limited by Template:Ency term and Template:Ency term.
- “d. Growth follows a ”plan“ Template:Ency term in Template:Ency term of the initial system modified by localized Template:Ency term” (1968, p.87).
According to Template:Ency person: “Some growth Template:Ency term can be dealt within terms of relatively simple Template:Ency term Template:Ency term, the solution of which yields growth curves of single Template:Ency term. At the more complex Template:Ency term structural problems become dominant and the complex Template:Ency term between growth and Template:Ency term are the focus of interest. All growth Template:Ency term are sufficiently alike however to suggest that a general theory of growth is by no means an impossibility”. (1956, p.13).
Forty years later, we still lack such a systemic theory!
