ISEN 640 Exam 1 questions with correct answers
What is the basis of an open system? Correct Answer-dynamic
interaction of the system's elements
An event may have multiple effects. The order of importance may shift
in time. This is best described by the system principle ___________
Correct Answer-counterintuitiveness
counterintuitiveness Correct Answer-actions intended to produce a
desired outcome may generate opposite results

none of the above Correct Answer-electrical
briefly explain the system principle of emergent property Correct
Answer-spontaneous outcome of ongoing process
interactions between two individual elements of the system are effected
through the interface between them.
