TY - JOUR AB - Briefly outlines the concept of systems engineering and soft systems methodology as a framework for helping students to cope with the problems and disagreements which they will encounter in their world of work, but for which they will not have been prepared in the classroom. Suggests that these methods should not replace the traditional textbook methods of teaching, but rather should complement them. Believes they could be introduced as another slice of management theory alongside A‐Levels.
