Open systems management is one that is capable of self-maintenance on the
basis of throughput of resources from the environment and the change of the
environment. It takes in (raw materials, capital, skilled labor) and converts
them into goods and services (via machinery, human skills) that are sent back
to that environment, where they are bought by customers. Contrarily a closed
system is self contained, does not interact with its external environment and
risks to develop they closed systems.
- The IBM compatible it like so long time ago,
but the concept of the open system can be draw from the IBM open system,
at the earlier of 80 the computer era just starting in, at the time there
are 2 major company for the personal computer it was apple with the apple
I and apple II and the IBM compatible with Microsoft as compliment
operating system (dos). Apple was very good computer with nice software
(already have graphic interface), the IBM a bit way behind with line
programming, but IBM make the system open means the other company can do
and sell what IBM made and come the market a lot of companies and the US
like Dell, Hp, Compaq, in Japan with Toshiba, NEC, Fujitsu and all around
the world. Open system makes the system it self develop so well and fast.
- LINUX operating system, the open source code
programming made to cheap operating system to everybody with possibility
people around the world to develop the program
- Wikimedia encyclopedia, open source
information system welcome people to add information to the contents
- GSM system for mobile communication was
dominating the world. Compare to the CDMA which any vendor have to buy
the chip from the qualcom for $ 40 per chip.
- The racing of the open system and close system
could be obseve by earlies of 2000, Sony announce they set up new standar
of music and applied to all new product of sony while in the USA a small
companies set up new standard of music (MP3) with opend system that any
one can have it (free) and contributing, as now the MP3 become so popular
and even Sony it selt using it.
The world standar for the open system maintain the standar quality of the
product and so on. The ISO cerfitication also force the companies/ organization
to follow the system and rules of the ISO. The ISO procedure also the open
system and make clear to the organisation, like using the same filing method,
in the hardcopy and the filing system of the computer, so if one person absen
in the office of sickness his/ her friend can help the jobs. The open system of
the ISO also make clear the what to do to the every body.
The benefit of the open system it makes the development of the system
will be faster, people work base on the habit and open system make the same
habit to most of the people and they can contribute more to the system.
