The company is one of the best-known suprasystems
Suprasystem is a term that is not part of the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ). It is possible to understand what the concept refers to, anyway, if we analyze its components.
System formed by others
The prefix supra- refers to what is above something else or is superior. A system , meanwhile, is an ordered set of elements that are interrelated.
In this framework, a system that is made up of other systems is called a suprasystem . This means that a suprasystem (also called supersystem ) is a larger system composed of smaller systems, which in turn may contain subsystems .
Utility of the suprasystem
Suprasystems favor the hierarchical organization of various structures that function in a coordinated manner with a common objective . It is possible to understand the suprasystem as the environment where other systems act.
In the so-called systems theory , in short, the suprasystem is the largest element. Then come the systems and finally the subsystems. It is important to mention that a system can belong to more than one suprasystem.
Examples
A common example of a suprasystem is the human body. In it we can find several systems (the digestive system , the circulatory system , etc.), in turn integrated by subsystems (such as the organs ). All these units work together to maintain the suprasystem in question.
Another example of a suprasystem is a computer (a computer ). In this suprasystem is the motherboard , motherboard or motherboard , which can be understood as a system made up of subsystems such as the microprocessor and random access memory or RAM .
These and numerous other suprasystems, ourselves being one of them, are part of everyday life, because we cannot conceive of life without a hierarchical organization of this type . Everything we are and see is made up of various parts of varying importance, which work together, each providing different benefits to achieve the common goal.
in the company
One of the most common examples of organization of our species is the company . You can get paid in a number of different ways, depending on your specialty and your country of origin, among other factors; However, something that occurs in all cases is that it is a suprasystem. This can be easily verified, since it meets all the requirements to carry such a label.
Firstly, it is a complex system, made up of a variable number of subsystems, which in turn may have smaller ones, and so on. There cannot be a company whose subsystems divert it from its main objectives, but everyone must collaborate to achieve them . The different departments, such as marketing, development and technical assistance, are three of the most common subsystems within a company.
The continents: immense suprasystems, composed of countries, regions, provinces and more
The continents
Speaking of normal suprasystems in our daily lives, we cannot forget one of the fundamental ones: the continent . It would not be easy to escape from this type of geographical organization to settle, since the entire world has been divided into continents for a long time, as long as dozens of generations.
Within this large system there are smaller ones, which are countries, the most common units to identify the origin of a person. Generally we do not say "I was born on that continent", but rather we refer to one of its subsystems to provide greater precision to our interlocutor.
It is worth mentioning that this suprasystem is one of the most complex, although not as complex as the planet itself , since it is made up of many others, passing through regions, provinces, counties, cities and reaching neighborhoods, among many other possibilities.
