During the investigation, we are dealing with the complex system which opens the new
scenario of learning, knowledge, and experience. Working with the complex system helps in
identifying the new path and solutions for overcoming the problems and challenges faced in
the completion of project. It is necessary to understand the system before monitoring and
presenting solutions to the problem. Recognition of the operating policies and procedures
provides the realization facts to identify the obscure and flaws in the current working system.
Analysis of the system process helps in defining the working of the mechanical, circuitry, and
process information. It helps in adding value to our knowledge.
Working with the complex system:
Monitoring of the system performance helps in exploring our knowledge to develop strategies
and process structure to resolve the complexity. Emphasis should be given for identifying the
cause and effect of the undertaken process map. Applications of the traditional working
program are not effective to solve the difficulties and challenges faced in the completion of
the project. New process map of knowledge is required to be designed by evaluating the
system thinking (Badewi, 2015). During the course program, I am able to learn that before
providing solution to the system problems, it is required to understand the system at top
priority. Interdependency of the process and operations is to be evaluated for getting an idea
to solve the surface problem. Working with the complex system, I have analysed that
systematic analysis of the problem can be done by developing the simulation of the system
and by managing required experiments (Hamad, 2018). Development of the simulation
system helps in identifying the flaws in the insight working of the process model. It gives the
clear understanding of the interdependency of the processes and operations. Designing of the
experiments helps in controlling the system by evaluating the input, process, and output.
System thinking can be expanded by demonstrating the cause and effect diagram because it is
used to measure the impact of the process on the outcome of the program undertaken
(Anderson, 2015). Recognition of the sensitivity of information provides realization
awareness about the consequences of the action taken to complete the system process. System
thinking process helps in providing new alternatives to resolve the problems and provides
panacea in the better way. From the course, we are able to understand that system thinking
helps in identifying the problem by collecting real facts and figures, sequence of steps which
can create the problem, familiarity to the process, and gaining experience to expand our

though process and creativity and thinks by coming out-of-the-box. Investigation of the
system complexity helps in finding the working of the functional areas. Application of the
system tools opens the new door to evaluate the problem in an entirely different way. Cause
and effect diagrams are used to find out the reason of system failure and their impact on the
surface problem.
Learning capability is improved by integrating the processes to achieve the common goal and
objectives for defining the problems and challenges of the entire system. Focus is to be given
on the system behaviour and its effect on the complete structure of the process model.
Determining the connectivity between the parts helps in analysing the change in behaviour of
the system. Calculation of the impacts can be analysed by implementing the feedback loop to
identify the dynamic behaviour of the system. Causes of the system failure can be identified
by examining the feedback loops which are collected. It has been evaluated that maturity in
resolving the challenges and problems can be gained by bringing awareness about the process
and procedures used in the given system. Parameters of the system thinking can be expanded
by getting deep awareness about the system (Itegi, 2015). It helps in applying the methods
and thought process to get the smooth functioning of the system.
I understand the concept of the complex system by doing research on identifying the cause of
corruption in trading. Interview session was organized with the bank manager to identify the
cause of corruption done in their organization. They focus on real facts collected from the
income tax department that people are not loyal to the government. They are not paying taxes
at regular interval of time. Analysing the current state of bank, in the joint meeting it was
decided that anti-corruption unit will be designed for investigating the cause of corruption
and taking legal action against the corrupted people. Knowledge can be sharpen by
performing experiments and developing the simulation of the complex system because it
helps in finding out the cause of the system failure, its impact on the underlying and
interdependent processes, and what methods can be applied to resolve the problems and
challenges (Hamid, Raza, and Naqvi, 2013). As a researcher, I understood that complex
situations can be handled by broadening our system thinking process and remain connected
with the operational model of the system. Analysis of the inter-process and components helps
in identifying the root cause of the system failure.
System Engineering:

Functioning of the organization can be improved by involving the system engineering
because it helps in presenting the sequence of processes by analysing and evaluating the
real impact on the business. Designing of the valuable operations for successful execution of
the system can be developed by applying the concept of system engineering. System
engineers play a vital role in predicting the risks at an early stage of project by developing the
proper sequence of project activities to accomplish the given tasks within the given time and
cost boundaries (Luis, 2018). Monitoring of the consumer requirement helps in creating the
system for providing desired output. System engineering concept is applied to the complex
system for performing system operations, improving system performance, initializing testing
and re-testing program for the undertaken process, manufacturing of the required product to
fulfil the demand of the customers, providing training and development program for the
employees to improve their skills and expertise, scheduling of the project activities, planning
and estimation of cost and budget, and identification of risks and challenges.
For example, Intex Private limited company initially developed the desktop computer system
for the users. With the passage of time, profit of the company goes on declining because
demands of the consumer changes and they want computer system which can be taken from
one place to another so the owner of the company decided to apply system engineering for
identifying the root cause of the failure of the current system and how we can design the
laptops for the consumers so that their demands can be fulfilled. It helps in finding the
problems which exist with the desktop computers and what are the problems faced by the
consumers in dealing with the desktop computers. It is required to design a new system which
is capable of resolving the old issues. Emphasis is given on re-engineering the system design
which is capable of satisfying the user demand. Recognition of the sensitivity of information
provides realization awareness about the consequences of the action taken to complete the
system process.
System Risks:
System risks are the probability which can hinders the functioning of the complete system
and the required outcome is not obtained within the pre-defined time-limit and cost which
results in the system failure. Business continuity planning is affected with the risks associated
with the process and operational program undertaken (Newman, 2018). From the research,
we are able to evaluate that flawless processing of the system majorly depends on the
capability of the system engineer to diagnose the risks at an early phases of the program

development phase. Identification of risks components, factors responsible for affecting the
functioning of the system, and analysing the negative outcome of the operational program
helps in evaluating the successful completion of project goal and objectives. Delivery of the
project process is comprised of various risks which should be determined at an early stage
with their impact and probability of occurrence during the project completion cycle. Risks
components are classified as financial risks, security risk, technical risk, people risk,
information and data risk, process and operational risks, and success measure risks. There are
various risks factors which can hinders the successful completion of the project which are
categorised as Monetary factor, project development, functional and operational, organization
hierarchy set-up, environment, and system risk (Ollows, 2015). Active participation from the
top management is the basic need of every project to be finishes up successfully.
Study of global stock market helps in analysing and evaluating the system risks associated
with the reduction of the stock prices at an international prices. Foreign investment within the
nation helps in evaluating the profit earned by converting the foreign currency into the
domestic currency. Fluctuation in the stock market decreases the inventory cost and results in
the net loss on the stock exchange at a global market. Forecasting of the equity prices cannot
be forecasted which directly affects the total earnings. Manipulation and violation of the laws
reduces the intrinsic value of the equity prices which is difficult to be controlled without the
speculation of the whole system and it results in increasing the complexity of the system.
Drop in price can occur for selling the stock in the illiquid market which affects the economy
of the nation (Ryan, and Efatmaneshnik, 2015). Return on investment is not acquired of the
average cost of capital directly affects the net present value of the financial system. Return on
stock directly proportional to the effectiveness of applying corporate governance structure.
Action taken by the government increases political and legal risks associated with the global
stock management system. Information related to the stock market should be kept
confidential so that sensitivity , reliability, and accuracy of information is not disturbed.
Investigation of long term risks associated with the global exchange market helps in
minimizing the short term risks to get better results and improved return on investment on the
foreign exchange of stock in the global market and hence increasing the nation economy and
stability. Monitoring of the consumer requirement helps in creating the system for providing
desired output. Cause and effect diagrams are used to find out the reason of system failure
and their impact on the surface problem.
Tiny Initiating events:

Management of the tiny events sequence helps in retrieving the deterministic goal of the
undertaken system and helps in completing the system smoothly without any intervention of
the risks. Assessment of risks associated with the tiny events is the prerequisite for the
designing of the effective system. Consequences of the extreme risks can be minimized by
dealing with the tiny events. Sustainability of the project depends on the degree of risks
associated with the small events and processes. Visualization the system helps in identifying
the effectiveness of the component level tasks designed to achieve the final objectives of the
project (Sulaman, Weyns, and Host, 2013). Adaptation of the complex event depends on the
automation in the system tiny processes. Changes in the system require changes to be done in
the micro level events so that rate of risks of system failure can be reduced. Complexity of
the system depends on the change management application applied to the tiny initiating
events of the undertaken process. Behaviour pattern of the tangible and intangible equipment
should be identified so that recognition of the risks can be done during the start-up of the
system design. Successful completion of the system depends on the interconnectivity between
the tiny component level design (Yang and Gao, 2016). It is required to manage interaction
between the sub-system. Interdependency of the process can affect the functioning and
operational efficiency of the other sub-system which had a direct impact on the end result of
the system. Changes done in one component had to be updated in every sub-system
accordingly to avoid the risks.
Complexity associated with the tiny initiating events can be identified by studying the Bank
management system. For example, If the customer had withdrawn 25000 rupees cash from
his account should be updated in its account because if it is not done than the financial status
of the bank is miscalculated which affects the complete process of lending money, providing
loans, and others. Success criteria of the project depend on the evaluation of tiny events used
in the development of the system.
With this research program, I am able to broaden my system thinking process to provide new
innovative ideas and solutions to the complex problem. It has been identified that systematic
analysis of the risks during the project initiation and tiny initiating events sequence are the
key principles for the successful completion of the complex project. Integration of the
process, components, and agents helps to achieve a pre-defined goal and objectives. Failure
of the system occurs due to the change in behaviour at component level and is not identified
at a global level. It is the pre-requisite of the system to design and clearly understand the risks
so that smooth and flawless communication can be managed between the components and

sub-components of the system. System is organized with the amalgamation of processes,
agents, equipment, and people. Communication between the four entities has to be balanced
to resolve the complexities at an early stage of the project. New process map of knowledge is
required to be designed by evaluating the system thinking. Creativity thinking and analysis of
the critical factors of the system helps in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of the
end result. Application of the system tools opens the new door to evaluate the problem in an
entirely different way. Preparation of simulation and experiments plays a vital role in
determining the risks associated with the project and developing mitigation risks policies and
procedures helps in completing the project with effectiveness. Determining the connectivity
between the parts helps in analysing the change in behaviour of the system. Calculation of the
impacts can be analysed by implementing the feedback loop to identify the dynamic
behaviour of the system. Recognition of the sensitivity of information provides realization
awareness about the consequences of the action taken to complete the system process.
Success of the system completion depends on the interconnectivity between the components
and sub-components and by managing the sequence of activities completed within the given
period of time limit and scheduled cost. System thinking can be expanded by demonstrating
the cause and effect diagram because it is used to measure the impact of the process on the
outcome of the program undertaken.
