Title: System Dynamics in Action
Overview: System Dynamics (SD) is a theory-building methodology that identifies physical and social feedback structures to frame, understand and analyze dynamically complex situations. Employing computer-based models, SD simulates how the structure of a system determines behavior and outcomes. From the personal to the societal level we are subject to patterns of behavior that are unexpected, undesirable and often incomprehensible. The application of SD methodology reveals the interconnections of a system that help explain the counterintuitive performance of these complex systems. Tracing its roots to the study of organizational behavior, SD is widely applied in policy analysis and the design of management structures for social systems.
