The last decade or so has seen an increase in the rate of attention to systems change and the application of multiple theories to study and influence change in systems. This article considers how these theories, described in other articles in this issues, plus theories about complex adaptive systems open opportunities for us to continue to expand our repertoire of tools and methods to address systems change. These conceptual frameworks, tools, and methods are expected to help us increase our capacity to study and influence both planned and self-organizing systems change. New tools and methods have emerged and others are needed to help us continue to explore and influence the complex social systems within which we operate.
在过去十年左右的时间里，人们对系统变革的关注度有所提高，并且越来越多地应用多种理论来研究和影响系统变革。本文探讨了本期其他文章中所描述的这些理论，以及关于复杂适应系统的理论如何为我们提供机会，使我们能够继续扩充应对系统变革的工具和方法库。这些概念框架、工具和方法有望帮助我们提升研究和影响计划中的系统变革以及自组织系统变革的能力。新的工具和方法已经出现，同时我们还需要其他工具和方法来帮助我们继续探索和影响我们所置身其中的复杂社会系统。
