It is often Engineers who understand best these concepts. Traditional management education is still grounded in traditional scientific management from closed systems. Engineering is much more comfortable with dynamical systems theories.

If you are interested, Lewin directly and indirectly inspired a whole breakaway of cognitive science, Ecological Psychology. This unlike traditional cognitive psychology looks to understand the forces at play in the “E” part of Lewins equation whilst not removing the dynamical coupling with “P”.

This ecological approach even challenges the underpinnings of cognition
