John Mingers
John Mingers is Professor of Operational Research and Information Systems at Kent Business School, University of Kent, and is Director of Research. Prior to that he was Head of the OR and Systems group at Warwick Business School. John studied Management Sciences for his first degree at Warwick University and later completed an MA in Systems in Management at Lancaster University and a PhD at Warwick.
His research includes the use of systems methodologies in problem situations - particularly the mixing of different methodologies within an intervention (multimethodology); critical realism as an underpinning philosophy for information systems and operational research; the development of the critical systems approach; autopoiesis (self-producing systems) and its applications; and, since becoming Director of Research, an unhealthy interest in journal rankings and citations. I am a founder of the Centre for the Evaluation of Research Performance

He published the first comprehensive study of autopoiesis - Self-Producing Systems: Implications and Applications of Autopoiesis (Wiley), and his recent book, “Realising Systems thinking: Knowledge and Action in Management Science” (Springer) includes chapters on the nature of information and its relations to meaning and knowledge.
