Hi,

Is someone aware of a very good qualitative/phenomenological PhD thesis on Systems Thinking/System Dynamics? Most theses I see are based on quantitative data...

Thanks,
Ines.

You might wish to look through the theses done at MIT before the 1980s. I
believe scanned versions are available on line.
