The Society's work since 1969 has focused on identifying the fundamental principles governing the process of social development. These principles form the basis of a comprehensive Theory of Social Development. The theory is based on the hypotheses that the same or very similar laws govern the evolution of society, organizations & individuals & the process of political, social, economic, commercial, intellectual, scientific, technological and artistic creation & that any problem, individual or organizational, in any field of life, lends itself to solution.
