System dynamics is an aprroach to the study of complexity.
Originally developed at the Massachusettes Institute of Technology by Jay Forrester, system dynamics is a unique method devised to help managersd and public policymakers design and implement ihgh leverage policies for sustainable success.
In a comprehensive newe treatment, John Sterman, a leading authority on system dynamics, explains what system dynamics and how it can be sucdessfully applied to solve business and organizational problems. Business Dynamics includes principles for modeling complex dynamic systems, simulation models, experiential exercises, and case studies of successful applications. The CD-ROM included with the book and the dedicated book website contain the models developed in the text, along with all the software needed to run, test, and extend them, thereby helping to increase student participation in the learning process.
