Formal aspects of model validity and validation in system dynamics

Yaman Barlas · 1 Jan 1996

Model validation constitutes a very important step in system dynamics methodology. Yet, both published and informal evidence indicates that there has been little effort in system dynamics community explicitly devoted to model validity and validation. Validation is a prolonged and complicated process, involving both formal/quantitative tools and informal/qualitative ones. This paper focuses on the formal…

Learning in and about complex systems

John D. Sterman · 1 Jun 1994

Abstract Change is accelerating, and as the complexity of the systems in which we live grows, so do the unanticipated side effects of human actions, further increasing complexity. Many scholars call for the development of systems thinking to improve our ability to manage wisely. But how do people learn in and about complex dynamic systems?…

System dynamics, systems thinking, and soft OR

Jay W. Forrester · 1 Jun 1994

Abstract System dynamics, systems thinking, and soft operations research (soft OR) all aspire to understanding and improvement of systems. In all, the first step interprets the real world into a description used in following stages. In system dynamics, description leads to equations of a model, simulation to understand dynamic behavior, evaluation of alternative policies, education…

All models are wrong: reflections on becoming a systems scientist

John D. Sterman · 1 Dec 2002

Abstract Thoughtful leaders increasingly recognize that we are not only failing to solve the persistent problems we face, but are in fact causing them. System dynamics is designed to help avoid such policy resistance and identify high‐leverage policies for sustained improvement. What does it take to be an effective systems thinker, and to teach system…

Bathtub dynamics: initial results of a systems thinking inventory

Linda Booth Sweeney, John D. Sterman · 1 Dec 2000

Abstract In a world of accelerating change, educators, business leaders, environmentalists and scholars are calling for the development of systems thinking to improve our ability to take effective actions. Through courses in the K‐12 grades, universities, business schools, and corporations, advocates seek to teach people to think systemically. These courses range from one‐day workshops with…
