About this title

Review

"The immense value of this book is the void it fills—it is the first major work to appear, dealing with managerial applications of systems dynamics, since Forrester's original publication of Industrial Dynamics. It is relatively self-contained, well edited, and provocative. Whether your flair is management, management science, management cybernetics, modeling, planning, or forecasting, you will find a collection of articles in this volume that will certainly whet your appetite. This book merits a place in your library; its appearance should enable graduate schools of business to effectively integrate systems dynamics into their curricula."
—Technological Forecasting and Social Change

"The [36] contributions are grouped under six themes: basic concepts, manufacturing, marketing and distribution, research and development, management control and financial applications, and societal problems.... The collection is an excellent instructional and reference book. It was used in draft form for teaching system dynamics at MIT in graduate and middle management executive development programs."
