Description
This essay, written by a Korean engineering professor, explores the fascinating connection between thermodynamics and our daily lives.

Thermodynamics, a branch of the physical sciences, provides a logical framework for understanding the complexities of nature. This professor, with a lifetime dedicated to applying thermodynamics to industrial advancements, now shares his wisdom in an accessible way. He connects the principles of thermodynamics to everyday experiences, emphasizing the importance of an open perspective, especially for leaders.

The book delves into why an open perspective is crucial for effective leadership, how it can guide decision-making in times of chaos, and how it fosters innovation. It's a worthwhile read that offers valuable insights into the power of open systems thinking. Unless we break down the closed boundaries of the system, we cannot transcend our narrow limitations.

For ourselves and the organizations we belong to to achieve integration and open innovation, we must first open the boundaries of our minds and thoughts, currently locked within a closed system. Numerous limitations now erect walls, forming a "closed system," before our young people. Do not settle for the narrow world of a closed dimension! Open the box of your closed mind and move toward an "open system," and you will see infinite possibilities and the power of positivity.

한국의 공과대학 교수가 쓴 이 과학 수필집은 열역학적 체계와 우리 일상생활 사이의 흥미로운 연관성을 탐구합니다.

물리과학의 한 분야인 열역학은 자연의 복잡성을 이해하기 위한 논리적 틀을 제공합니다. 열역학을 산업 발전에 적용하는 평생에 걸친 교육과 연구에, 그리고 공·사립 두 대학교의 총장을 지낸 바 있는 저자는, 이제 자신의 경험과 지혜를 쉬운 이야기로 풀어내며 일반 독자들과 열린계의 긍정성을 공유합니다. 그는 열역학의 원리를 일상의 경험에 연결하고, 특히 리더에게 열린 관점의 중요성을 강조합니다.

이 책은 조직을 발전시키는 효과적인 리더십을 위해 열린 관점이 왜 중요한지, 혼란스러운 불확정성의 시기에 열린 관점이 어떻게 리더가 시의성 있게 의사를 결정할 수 있는지, 혁신을 촉진하는 방법을 자세히 설명합니다. 개방적인 체계적 사고의 힘에 대한 귀중한 통찰력을 제공하는 가치 있는 책입니다.

체계의 닫히고 경직된 경계를 무너뜨리지 않는 한, 우리는 좁은 한계를 초월할 수 없습니다. 우리 자신과 내가 속한 조직의 통합과 오픈 이노베이션을 원한다면, 먼저 닫힌 상자에 갇힌 마음과 생각의 경계를 열어야 합니다. 지금도 열려 있어야 할 세상 속의 젊은이들 앞에는 수많은 제약이 '닫힌 계'로 버티고 있곤 합니다. 온 세상 젊은이들이여 더 이상 닫힌 차원의 좁은 세계에 안주하지 마세요! 닫힌 마음의 상자를 열고 '열린 계'를 향해 나아가면 무한한 가능성과 긍정의 힘을 보게 될 것입니다.

한계앞에서망설이는젊은이들에게영감을주는열린마음의메시지!
경계를넘어서는지식과창의력에대한열망이세상을바꿀수있습니다.

우리는살아가면서늘한계에부딪힙니다.그러나그한계를넘어보는사람이있고,그한계앞에서주저앉는사람이있습니다.한계는경계를의미합니다.이세계와저세계를구분하는경계,그경직된경계의한계를넘어서지못하면세상의변화를주도할수없습니다.이책은그경계를넘어서는비전과의욕적에너지를주는책입니다.공대출신의교수이자공/사립대학의최고경영자를지냈던이가이책을썼습니다.서강대와,한국전력국제원자력대학원대학교란건학이념이다른두대학의총장을지냈던저자는실용정신으로대학가에조용한변혁을주도했던실천적학자입니다.4차산업혁명시기에교수중심의단일방향주입식교육을지양하며,학생각자에자발적동기를부여를하고,스스로지식을습득하게하는양방향열린교육을지향해온사람입니다.

‘열린계’라는용어는유기풍총장의전공인열역학에서나온말입니다.외부세상과구분하는경계의특성에따라고립된계,닫힌계,열린계로개념지을수있다고합니다.한때통섭과융합이유행한적이있었습니다.아니지금도이키워드들
