Abstract

The author argues that the accomplishments, failures, and future prospects of systems analysis can be properly assessed only by taking into consideration the craft characteristics and the social aspects of analytic activity. This broader view of the analytic process will then be used to outline a conceptual framework from which the editorial program of IIASA's Survey Project can acquire direction and meaning.
