Download or read book Managerial Applications of System Dynamics written by Edward Baer Roberts and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1978 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Now available from Productivity Press, Cambridge, Mass.) Useful as both a text and a working resource, this volume contains 36 chapters (and 4 appendixes) illustrating the application of system dynamics to overall strategic planning and managerial problem-solving in the corporate functional areas of manufacturing, marketing and distribution, research and development, and finance and control. In addition, a final section treats the systems analysis of societal problems that impinge on a manager's social responsibilities. Many of the chapters provide full descriptions of the modeling processes and implemented results, and in nine cases the computer models are completely documented with listings of the model equations. This book is the first attempt to compile real managerial uses of the system dynamics approach, and the first volume since Forrester's Industrial Dynamics(MIT Press, 1961) to focus upon corporate system dynamics models. In draft form the book has been used as the basis for teaching system dynamics in the Sloan School's regular graduate programs and its middle-management executive development programs. In his introductory chapter on the concepts, philosophy, and methodology of system dynamics, the editor clearly identifies the underlying premises: "The system dynamics philosophy rests on a belief that the behavior (or time history) of an organization is principally caused by the organization's structure. The structure includes not only the physical aspects of plant and production process but, more importantly, the policies and traditions, both tangible and intangible, that dominate decision-making in the organization. Such a structural framework contains sources of amplification, time lags, and information feedback similar to those found in complex engineering systems. Engineering and management systems containing these characteristics display complicated response patterns to relatively simple system or input changes.... The subtleties and complexities in the management area make these problems even more severe. Here the structural orientation of system dynamics provides a beginning for replacing confusion with order. A second aspect of the system dynamics philosophy is the concept that organizations are viewed most effectively in terms of their common underlying flows instead of in terms of separate functions.... A meaningful system framework results from tracing cause-and-effect chains through the relevant flow paths." The book is included in the MIT Press/Wright-Allen Series in System Dynamics, of which Jay W. Forrester is general editor. System dynamics as a methodology was largely devised by Forrester, Roberts, and other MIT faculty and staff. It employs computers to predict short- and long-term consequences of social, economic, and corporate policies, and has been used variously to chart the growth of new products in business, to study environmental change, and to examine the impact of public policies at scales ranging from the urban to the global. Professor Roberts' four prior books on system dynamics cover a similar range of theory and application of systems and computer modeling concepts.

Book excerpt: This book is about increasing team performance. It focuses on building system dynamics models when tackling a mix of interrelated strategic problems to enhance team learning, foster consensus, and create commitment. The book is intended to be applied in the organizations of today. As the "command and control" organization evolves into one of decision-making teams, so these teams have become the critical building blocks upon which the performance of the organization depends. The team members face an increased complexity of decision making with the interrelation of several strategic problems. What this means is that people have different views of the situation and will define problems differently. However, research shows that this can in fact be very productive if and when people learn from each other in order to build a shared perspective. Learning in this way might prove to be the only sustainable competitive advantage for organizations in the future. As a result, team leaders want to create "learning teams" and are confronted with issues such as how to: create a situation where people doubt their ideas rather than stubbornly cling to dearly held views create a learning atmosphere rather than trying to "win" the discussion create a shared understanding of a problem in a team foster consensus and create commitment with a strategic decision facilitate Group Model Building Those who will benefit most from Group Model Building: Facilitating Team Learning Using System Dynamics are those who are familiar with systems thinking or organizational learning, or those who are working in groups and are coming up against the common difficulties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: System Dynamics is a component of Encyclopedia of Technology, Information, and Systems Management Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. The world is facing a wide range of increasingly complex, dynamic problems in the public and private arenas alike. System dynamics discipline is an attempt to address such dynamic, long-term policy problems. Applications cover a very wide spectrum, including national economic problems, supply chains, project management, educational problems, energy systems, sustainable development, politics, psychology, medical sciences, health care, and many other areas. This theme provides a comprehensive overview of system dynamics methodology, including its conceptual / philosophical framework, as well as the technical aspects of modeling and analysis. System dynamics can address the fundamental structural causes of the long-term dynamic contemporary socio-economic problems. Its "systems" perspective challenges the barriers that separate disciplines. The interdisciplinary and systemic approach of system dynamics could be critical in dealing with the increasingly complex problems of our modern world in this new century. These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work includes a major case study of a cancelled NASA software development project that experienced cost and schedule problems throughout its history. Analysis was performed using stochastic simulation with derived probability distributions for key software development factors. A system dynamics model of human resource issues was also combined with the process model to more thoroughly analyze the effects of turnover on a project. This research has demonstrated the benefits of using a simulation model when estimating to allow for more realistic budget and schedule determination including an interval estimate to help focus on the uncertainty of the estimates.
