Other works strongly referred to in the SI research are authors ranging from Howard Gardner to Herbert A. Simon to Marcial Losada. The following research areas have influenced and been referred to in the SI research:
- systems theory and systems thinking
- neuroanatomy of human mind

One notable influence comes from action research, which basically means research done inside the research objective, on a continuous basis, learning from one's action.

Famous quotes containing the words influential and/or work:
“In the learned journal, in the influential newspaper, I discern no form; only some irresponsible shadow; oftener some monied corporation, or some dangler, who hopes, in the mask and robes of his paragraph, to pass for somebody. But through every clause and part of speech of the right book I meet the eyes of the most determined men; his force and terror inundate every word: the commas and dashes are alive; so that the writing is athletic and nimble,—can go far and live long.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
