From the system’s perspective the entropy issue is decisive for the evaluation of future economic options and constraints.The paper sensitizes for entropic adequate firm acts in regard to resource management. Are system decisions reversible? The quality of entropy growth reflects the system’s chance to keep up the space of acts, at least to prolong the space of acts. The system’s observer and his information requirements are expressed in the entropy indicator.Graphic solutions, such as pictograms among others, are developed and high-lighted which support the attempt to reduce or at least to lighten complexity in the management of resources. Graphical devices for the measurement of system entropy are presented. The combined illustrations in the paper enhance a firm’s ability for operational resource management under the predominance of entropy law, for example within working groups. date: 2025 id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00037097 schriftenreihe_cluster_id: sr-3 schriftenreihe_order: 0765 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-370979 language: eng bibsort: KRCALHANSCEINEIKONOG20250801 full_text_status: public series: AWI Discussion Paper Series volume: 0765 place_of_pub: Heidelberg pages: 110 citation: Krcal, Hans-Christian (2025) Eine Ikonographie thermodynamischer Systemwirkungen für die Analyse von "Handlungen".
