- W3100698521 abstract "What profession that is core to ecosystem management is described in the following passage? . . . [Their professional] representation of a . . . system can be typified as physical, holistic, empirical, and fuzzy; . . . [treating] the system more as a whole than in terms of individual pieces; ... [expecting] uncertainty rather than deterministic outcomes...; [taking] uncertainty or “fuzziness” . . . to be inevitable and, to some degree, omnipresent; [seeing] ambiguity . . . pervade the entire system, and . . . [suspecting] the unsuspected at every turn. . . . [T]he underlying notion [in their professional culture] is that no amount of rules and data can completely and reliably capture the actual complexity of the system . . . [I]t is more important . . . for [these professionals] to maintain an overview of the behavior of the whole system than to have detailed knowledge about its components. . . . [They] tend to be very wary of [the pressure to intervene], primarily because it runs counter to a basic attitude of conservatism fostered by their culture: “when in doubt, don’t touch anything.” Their reluctance to take any action unless it is clearly necessary arises from the awareness that any operation represents a potential error, with potentially severe consequences. (Von Meier 1999, pp. 104-107) . . . We suspect that many readers would see ecologists (writ large again) as the professional group whose views are being described. Ecologists, as we have seen, frequently describe the ecosystem in just such terms: it responds to external disturbances, the whole system is more than the sum of its parts, it displays nondeterministic behavior, its complexity can never be fully captured and, therefore, management is extremely challenging, with managers always reluctant to intervene—at least in major ways—in ecosystems they do not know, because this potentially creates more problems than it solves. However, ecologists are not the group being described, and here is the surprise. Though the quoted phrases are almost textbook ecology material, the professional culture discussed here is in fact that of line operators in high reliability organizations (HROs)." @default.
