West Churchmanwas one of the founding fathers of the fields of operational research, management science (two closely connected fields often referred to as OR/MS), and the “systems approach.” Yet he also remained one of their major critics – he wanted us to remain faithful to the self-reflective, interdisciplinary and ethical spirit that stood at the beginning of OR/MS and the systems approach.West (his preferred second first name) was born in 1913. In 2003, he celebrated his 90th birthday. This tribute section of my home page originally was a modest attempt to honor my former teacher’s 90 years. After the news of his death on 21 March, 2004, it gained an unintended new significance. In remembrance of West Churchman, I would like to offer the following tribute articles.¹ ⁾KEY WORDS: C.W. Churchman – biography; C.W. Churchman – bibliography; C.W. Churchman – appreciation; systems approach; systems thinking; future-responsive management; process of unfolding	C. W.
