The viable system model (VSM) by Stafford Beer. Management cybernetics is concerned with the application of cybernetics to management and organizations. "Management cybernetics" was first introduced by Stafford Beer in the late 1950s [1] and introduces the various mechanisms of self-regulation applied by and to organizational settings, as seen through a cybernetics perspective.
Limebeer is known for his contributions in engineering dynamics, with his contributions spanning electrical machines, robust control theory, and vehicle dynamics. He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and books, including Linear Robust Control (with Michael Green), and Dynamics and Optimal Control of Road Vehicles (with Matteo Massaro).
The model was developed by operations research theorist and cybernetician Stafford Beer in his book Brain of the Firm (1972). [1] Together with Beer's earlier works on cybernetics applied to management, this book effectively founded management cybernetics.

Ferdinand Pierre Beer (August 8, 1915 – April 30, 2003) was a French mechanical engineer and university professor. He spent most of his career as a member of the faculty at Lehigh University , where he served as the chairman of the mechanics and mechanical engineering departments.
Stafford Beer coined the term POSIWID and used it many times in public addresses. In his address to the University of Valladolid, Spain, in October 2001, he said: [1] According to the cybernetician, the purpose of a system is what it does. This is a basic dictum.
According to technology historian Eden Medina, 26.7% of the nationalized industries which were responsible for 50% of the sector revenue had been incorporated to some degree into the Cybersyn system by May 1973. [11] The total costs of the economic simulator amounted to £5,000 at the time of design ($38,000 in 2009 dollars). [12]
