FIVE Characteristics of System

Systems have boundaries that determine how they interact with their environment. They possess emergent properties that arise from the interactions of their parts. Systems are purposeful in that they have goals, whether explicit or implicit, that guide their function and development over time. They comprise interconnected elements, and understanding the nature of these relationships is key to analyzing their behavior. Finally, systems exhibit multidimensionality, possessing multiple active factors that influence their state at any given point.
