Dear Michael,
"An Introduction to Systems Thinking" by Barry Richmond which comes with the
iThink software of high Performance Systems inc. provides some examples of
systems thinking, which I find are the basic modeling that any management
graduate or manager should know. You may look at them.
Good luck.
Nat

Dear all,
im writing my dissertation on the topic:
"Which knowledge about System Dynamics modeling and simulation should an
ordinary Manager have, who does NOT intend to become an SD expert by
himself, but who wants to be able to use the expert know-how of SD
modelers in a professional way?"
Do you know any research results (papers, projects) which could be
relevant for this question?
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards
Michael

The literature offers the answer in the form of two books:
for the ordinary Manager - Competitive Strategy Dynamics by Kim
Warren
for the expert, at least - Business Dynamics by John Sterman
