Mitchell (2006), for instance affirms that, “What has transformed historically and what has resulted in the topic being fascinating is the key technique for the study of complex systems is a simulation. It’s also because of this, powerful machines, particularly clusters, made way for empirical insight into this topic (p. 119).” The primary framework for the complex systems as a course is that it is impossible to illustrate, or comprehend the behavior of a system by ...

The organization that was chosen to be the topic of the organizational performance analysis process was the Eltham East Primary School (which will be referred to in this paper using the acronym EEPS). So, far, the expected finding is a positive one. That is, the author of this paper expects that the results of the organizational performance analysis for the EEPS would be a positive one.
