Igor Perko

Biography

Igor Perko is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Maribor, Slovenia, and Co-Director General of the World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics (WOSC). His early academic and professional work focused on the design and implementation of business intelligence, predictive analytics, and risk management systems, particularly in financial contexts. This work addressed decision support, default prediction, information asymmetry, and data sharing in inter-organisational environments. His research evolved toward systems thinking and cybernetics, integrating multimedia, collective intelligence, and Hybrid Reality into a coherent CyberSystemic perspective. Within this framework, he investigates how socio-technical systems operate across physical, digital, and artificial domains, with particular attention to ethics, governance, and social responsibility. His current research concentrates on interactions as the primary unit of analysis, advancing interaction observation as a CyberSystemic methodology for analysing complex systems, including AI-supported learning, organisational decision-making, and academic publishing. He has authored and edited numerous journal articles, monographs, special issues, and edited volumes in the fields of systems science, cybernetics, information systems, and social responsibility.
