Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge")[1][2]:58 is a systematic


Science enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable
explanations and predictions about the universe.[a]

Technology can be most broadly defined as the entities, both material and
immaterial, created by the application of mental and physical effort in order
Technology to achieve some value. In this usage, technology refers to tools and machines
that may be used to solve real-world problems

Engineering is the creative application of science, mathematical methods,


and empirical evidence to the innovation, design, construction, operation
Engineering and maintenance of structures, machines, materials, devices, systems,
processes, and organizations.

Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, "knowledge, study, learning")


Mathematics includes the study of such topics as quantity,[1] structure,[2] space,[1] and
change.[3][4][5]

2.1 Integrated Thinking

Integrated thinking is the active consideration by an organization of the relationships


between its various operating and functional units and the capitals that the organization
uses or affects. Integrated thinking leads to integrated decision-making and actions that
consider the creation of value over the short, medium and long term.
Integrated thinking takes into account the connectivity and interdependencies between
the range of factors that affect an organization’s ability to create value over time,
including:
● The capitals that the organization uses or affects, and the critical interdependencies,
including trade-offs, between them
● The capacity of the organization to respond to key stakeholders’ legitimate needs
and interests
● How the organization tailors its business model and strategy to respond to its
external environment and the risks and opportunities it faces
● The organization’s activities, performance (financial and other) and outcomes in
terms of the capitals – past, present and future.
● The more that integrated thinking is embedded into an organization’s activities, the
more naturally will the connectivity of information flow into management reporting,
analysis and decision-making. It also leads to better integration of the information
systems that support internal and external reporting and communication, including
preparation of the integrated report.
