• The Systems Approach breaks down an organization, or any system, into five essential building blocks.

• These are: Input, which encompasses the resources drawn from the external environment (like raw materials, labor, and capital);
  Process (or Throughput), the internal operations where inputs are transformed;
  Output, the finished goods, services, or results sent back into the environment;
  Feedback, a communication loop that informs the system about the effectiveness of its outputs;
  and Environment, the external context that influences and is influenced by the system.

• Each of these components is vital for understanding the dynamic nature of an organization.
