About

The International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics was first edited and published by the system scientist Charles François in 1997. The online version that is provided here was based on the 2nd edition in 2004. It was uploaded and gifted to the center by ASC president Michael Lissack in 2019; the BCSSS purchased the rights for the re-publication of this volume in 200?. In 2018, the original editor expressed his wish to pass on the stewardship over the maintenance and further development of the encyclopedia to the Bertalanffy Center. In the future, the BCSSS seeks to further develop the encyclopedia by open collaboration within the systems sciences. Until the center has found and been able to implement an adequate technical solution for this, the static website is made accessible for the benefit of public scholarship and education.

HETEROGENIZATION (Self-) 4)

← Back

"The incorporation of many ways of living, working and thinking into yourself" (M. MARUYAMA, 1994, p.38)

MARUYAMA states: "It can occur in material, behavioral, psychological or logical areas. Everybody practises it, at least in the material sphere ". He gives as an example, eating French, Italian or Chinese food, at times.

However, he adds: "But self-heterogenization in logics or mindscape types occurs much less frequently" (Ibid).

This would cover the incorporation of different views or feelings in one's own mindscape, and could become indispensable for executives of multinational firms transferred from one country to another, whose culture is different.
